    actually every part of a website which requires to store data given from a person(admin/webmaster/user/guest/…) in it, needs a database to store those datas in in it.

    Yes, anything you want to store permanently, or temporarily needs to be in a database. You can do some storage with cookies or flat files, but cookies are temporary, and flat files are clumsy and difficult to work with.

    If you want parts, you have identified 99% with #1 and #2 on your list.
