That's correct! HTML, CSS, Javascript all are very important and the basic of web developement. You should know them in detail. These will work in the backend so for front end you should know any of the programming language. Database knowledge is essential for the storing the site related data. MySQL or Oracle or MariaDB etc. any of them should be properly known.

Including these, you should learn basics of the server management so you can at-least setup your account and can resolve the small queries.
