To have a login, you also need a registration form.
The registration form would send the data to a database and the login form would access the database for the information, and probably cookies to keep track of the logins.

This is all performed with serverside languages, such as PHP, ASP, ColdFusion etc and databases MySQL, MSSQL etc
Which combination does your host offer? (php/mysql is probably most common)
