There is no normal when it comes to backups. Many companies don't offer it at all. We keep them for 6 months.

If you do not have a robust backup service with your hosting plan, I highly recommend you run a backup regularly through the available control panel and download it to your computer, or better yet, save it in the cloud somewhere. You can cycle them every 6 months or so to save hard drive space.

Feel free to reach out to me and I can give you some more information on how to set this up with your current plan.
