Well, There are so many ways you can get the fiels and database from the hosting compnay to your computer. You can use any ftp program to do that too. As you are not familiar with, the simplest way to use the browser.
Steps.
1.Type in your browser address bar: ftp://yourdomainname.com and hit enter.
2.You will have to enter user name and password.
3. You will see a directory something like, www and doble click on that and see there may more folders. Just drag and drop those into your desktop. Always its not the case, you will see the www directory but something similar to that.
Thats it.
Note:
Make sure that you have ftp account and your ftp services is already started.
Problem:
If your database is SQL then you need to use SQL EM to back up but you can ftp the files.
GOOD LUCK.
