Unless you are going to use a free service which intitles the service to place ads on your site, in a word... yes.

I suggest you research about hosting companies, what to expect, and decide what would fit the needs of yourself or your client. I believe there are a few threads here dealing with finding good hosting. You might want to look those over as a starting point. Taking time now to learn a bit about the hosting industry can save you more time and lots of regrets in the future.
 
What type of support and services do you provide to your existing clients and can you please list the webhosting features of the unmetered account ?

Yes, you'll have to purchase hosting, but that's cheap

It used to be that you had to pay $25 or more a month for hosting, but it's dropped considerably over the last year or so to about $6 or $7 a month for everything you'd need to run a small to medium sized website. I have used Lunarpages for a long time and am extremely happy with them, and they are currently offering $700 worth of CoffeeCup web design and web page creation software for new accounts.

I'm running 4 different sites on one account with them, and have yet to hit even 1% of my bandwidth limit :D Their technical support is also outstanding, and you can pick up the phone and actually talk to an educated tech within a few seconds.
