Given that to host a website could mean anything from a basic flat HTML 
server (eg Apache, nginx etc) through to a whole complex CMS, that's a 
pretty big question!

You don't need to host a DNS server to host a website. Same with email. 
You might *want* to, but you don't *have* to.

OI, like every UNIX variant since the 1980's, has a built in DNS server 
(BIND), an email server (Sendmail or Postfix), mail clients (mailx), 
bundled up IMAP and POP servers (cyrus, dovecot), a web server (apache) 
and so on.  If you want to use PHP (urgh ...) or some other language to 
make smarts, they're bundled up too.
