Yes, and your local computer must be on, the software must be running, etc. Want that email delivered to your phone, your work computer, etc.? My example is hardly the best one, but it was simple and commonly understood.
If you don't turn your computer on at least once a day, then chances are you aren't reading your email on it.
Run your calendar/bill-reminder software on the machine you use the most (which you'd do naturally, anyway) — whether it be your phone, your laptop, or wherever — and the justification for remote hosting collapses.
Unless you're away from your usual location for a couple of weeks, in which case this type of remote hosting is pretty darn useful (unless your primary computer is your smartphone, but not everyone has one).
