A "Host", or "Hostname", on Internet, is a name used to reference a set of numbers (see IP Address) which in turn is used to access a specific machine. You could use just the IP address, but hostnames are often easier to remember. It is important to understand that IP addresses are always numbers separated by periods, like 127.0.0.1, whereas hostnames can contain alpha or numeric characters (like voy.com). Sometimes a hostname may even include numbers in it, but don't confuse it with an IP address -- 127.0.0.1.voy.com is still a hostname. Another important point is, while each computer is given its own IP address, sometimes, many users end up going through one machine before they access a website. This means they all look the same to VoyForums, for instance. Users with a constant live connection to Internet may have their own name, other users are assigned a name each time they connect to their Internet Provider. When they get a new ID each time, or if a lot of users get routed through the same "gateway", it adds a certain amount of anonymity to the user -- that is, a website won't be able to know the specific location of the user.

When a server acts as a host it means that other computers on the network do not have to download the software that this server carries.
