You don't need a website straightaway. But it's a good idea to begin building an online presence as a writer. Two of the best sites for doing this are:
medium.com/ quora.com
Forgive me if you already know about them. Medium is a communal blogging platform whereas Quora is a question and answer site. Building up a following on either of these sites would be very beneficial for an aspiring author.

Only once you come to release your first book should you worry about getting a personal site.

With regards to this, I have to disagree. Some of my favourite authors were journalists first, such as Terry Pratchett and Hunter S. Thompson. They refined their style while working as journalists.
