I would like to ask if is WordPress the best platform for creating blogs.
Further, how do recover posts that are not backed up on the website?

It’s a commonly used platform for creating blogs. Which doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the best, but surely it’s good enough.

If there is no backup on the website and no backup on the PC or laptop you use to post them, I’m afraid they are gone if they are gone.

as the best platform for creating blogs depends on the specific needs and goals of the individual blog creator. However, WordPress is a popular platform for creating blogs due to its ease of use and variety of features. If posts are not backed up on the WordPress website, they can typically be recovered by contacting the website administrator or by using a WordPress backup plugin.

You should use backup always

Well, think about real life. When you delete a file from your computer it goes to the recycle bin and if you delete it from recycle bin also then it may need special software to recover.
Truly speaking WordPress is just software which doesn’t provide backup service. WordPress is for making websites, not backup your file. Any file or content is stored in the hosting or cloud.
Most hosting provides auto backup service for daily/weekly or monthly. You should know whether your hosting has a backup service.
If you have an auto backup service then you can recover it easily. If you don’t have auto backup service then you should backup everyday. It’s necessary to backup files.
If your hosting doesn’t provide a backup service then there are some plugins which you can use to download your website content to backup.
