Since your website is on your own hosting account, it is your responsibility to back it up and to keep these files up to date.

There are two different parts of your website you need to backup, the WordPress files and the database, and they both have different processes.

You need to complete both of these before your entire website is saved.
Here are the official tutorials on how to create these backups:
