Not necessarily. If you intend to only focus on PPC (Pay-Per-Click) advertising through Google AdWords, Overture or similar you do not need to have a website.

If you are planning on only using PPC you will should register with Google.co.uk as your website, make sure you state clearly that you are doing PPC in the site description.
