What can you do with a a server besides Host websites ?
e.g. backup files , anything else ?
I have a free server with unlimited space , anything I can make useful or cool out of it ?

Anything you can do with a computer.
Except it is somewhere else (not home based server).
You can use it for online storage, hosting (web, app, game), as proxy server, remote desktop for any reason.

I brought a personal blog website theme from themeforest. I can open it from my own computer, but after I uploaded to my host, I got
403 Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /~username/index.html on this
server.
I have no idea what could be the error source, so I don't know what more info I need to provide. Please help me and I can provide more codes/info if needed.
Thanks.
smells like a file permission problem:
assuming you uploaded using FTP, or SCP, or similar, and didn't set the files to be readable by everyone the web-server may not be able to read them.

Port 80 is forwarded to a server on my network which has links to the different projects I'm working on, how could I allow people to connect to the server running on my laptop when I'm using it? I would obviously not prefer to change my router settings frequently to port forward to my laptop. I want the user to access my domain and maybe have a set of links which will be described as static and another set which will have a description cautioning the user that said links will only work when I am online and they would somehow redirect to my laptop. (Lamp Server)
Well, if I understood correctly your question, you should configure your laptop as a reverse proxy for your main server.
As you said, you should have a set of links which will redirect to your laptop (via reverse proxy config), but of course these links will work only when your laptop is available.

I am having account on Godaddy.in , in that account i can create 25 databases.
I also have a hosting account on BigRock.in but it dont provide any MYSQL data base, it only provide file hosting , but i want to know whether i can connect to the database of the Godady.in in the file hosted on BigRock.in
It could be possible if you enable Direct Database Access - http://support.godaddy.com/help/article/4978/connecting-remotely-to-shared-hosting-databases. But it is not a good practice because you will have some latency to load the data from one provider to another.

I see appharbor is very promising alternative to windows azure. Are all the applications created there for trial are open source by default? If yes does deleting the application also deletes the source code.
No, you can use AppHarbor for free and keep your source code private.

I'm redesigning one page for a company, does it make sense for me to ask them for FTP access?
Thanks
Nothing is standard it depends on the requirements of the business. They might just want for you to hand over the code in which case it wouldn't be needed. They might want you to look after deployment in which case you would likely need some sort of access to the production machine. Also don't ask for FTP it is not secure and looks a bit amateurish. Ask instead for SFTP access more or less the same but it runs over SSH so you get security thrown in for free.
