Yes, Psychostats, HLStats, and Sourcemod all require a web host database to give you anything stats wise. Sourcemod is also an admin mod, like Mani, but is more detailed, and has a web based ban system that makes moderating multiple servers easy as cake!

With these programs you HAVE to buy a site. 99.9% of free hosts will NOT open the ports needed to have them access the server for logs. With some paid host they will require you to buy the IP your domain is on. This is all for security reasons. My site is set up like this and costs about $225 for two years, 2 domains, and the dedicated ip. CS.com, this site, also allows for stats with their paid sites and will even set it for you if you get the stats with the server and site. CS.com is probably your best bet if you do not know how to run a site as well has has shorter terms. Once you buy a site you own it for at least a year. CS.com has it set for monthly, 3 months, 6 months, and yearly.

Mani and Mattie's do NOT require any type of web hosting. Mattie has a Mani like admin program that comes in the base download of the Mattie system, as well as the stats, it just needs to be configured and activated like and mod with in Mattie.
