There are several varieties of wallets, online wallets, desktop wallets (software) or hardware wallets. The latter is the safest way to store your BTC for the long term since this is the so-called cold storage, which means that your crypto is stored offline. A PC can be hacked or with an online wallet you are dependent on the security of third parties.
