   All the posts in my database got deleted. We didn't back it up. (Me and my friend are both stupid.) Is there any way to get it back, or are we screwed?

   You're screwed. Sorry. Backing up is the most important part of maintaining your wordpress. You might want to ask your host if they backup the databases -- which I doubt they do. It doesn't hurt to ask.

   Through email, or a trouble ticket in their help area on their website, or call them. Who's your host?

   Oh dear God... lol.

   The host is the person who provides you with that server space.

   Your host is who you pay to house your website. Server, yes.

    Um. How can you not know who your host is? You paid for website hosting did you not?

    Yea... and seriously not be rude.

    But if you can't even recall who host your website, then maybe WordPress.org isn't for you.

    Go to WordPress.com, blogger or whatever. They'll manage backups and stuff for you. All you have to do is worry about getting the content up.

    Go here: http://www.crystaltech.com/webhosting.aspx

    Contact them and ask if they keep database backups.

    It means google up "Crystaltech Web Hosting Inc " and tell them you f'ed up your site and see what, and if, they can help you out with your site.
