What is Host (network)?
A '''network host''' is a [[computer]] connected to a [[computer network]]. A network host may offer information [[Resource (computer science)|resources]], [[:wikt:service|services]], and [[Application software|applications]] to [[:wikt:user|users]] or other [[node (networking)|nodes]] on the network. Typically, the term is used when there are at least two [[computer system]]s connected together. The host computer is a computer that distributes services to other computers connected to it. Each host on a computer network must have a unique [[IP address]].<ref>C. T.
