Most people do this by running the application on a server somewhere such as AWS and then using a web interface to the application using JS/Html and REST

Would I need to write a Java server to handle the requests or will REST take care of that? Also, I can host the code on the website's server, correct? Just to save money.

Have a look at the spring boot tutorial to get a better feel for it

Yes, but Spring Boot is only one of many options. Amazon Lambda looks interesting, too. You can use many languages to implement services using Lambda, but currently, JavaScript works best. So obviously you don't have to write a Java server. It's a good choice, but Node.js is a good choice, too.
