It is hosted on different servers, we call them web-hosts.
These servers have 24x7 connection to the internet..so that websites can be accessed at all times. This is different from our home where we connect to the internet only when required. All the content of internet is distributed on diff servers..not on a single machine.

website addresses like yahoo.com and google.com are mapped using the DNS concept. read more about DNS here

The Internet is the worldwide, publicly accessible network of interconnected computer networks that transmit data by packet switching using the standard Internet Protocol (IP). It is a "network of networks" that consists of millions of smaller domestic, academic, business, and government networks, which together carry various information and services, such as electronic mail, online chat, file transfer, and the interlinked Web pages and other documents of the World Wide Web. The Internet was named by the American television show Good Morning America and newspaper USA Today as one of the "New Seven Wonders of the World" [1] in 2006.

Contrary to some common usage, the Internet and the World Wide Web are not synonymous: the Internet is a collection of interconnected computer networks, linked by copper wires, fiber-optic cables, wireless connections, etc.; the Web is a collection of interconnected documents and other resources, linked by hyperlinks and URLs. The World Wide Web is accessible via the Internet, as are many other services including e-mail, file sharing, and others
