+"Host" is a widely used term in network computing. For the purposes of this glossary, 
+the term very closely aligns with "node". A host is a network-accessible computer that 
+"hosts" a service, application, or other infrastructure component, with the ability to send
+and/or receive data from other computers attached to the same network. Just like a node, 
+in [cloud computing](/cloud-computing/), a host can be a physical computer, a virtual 
+computer, referred to as a [VM](/virtual-machine/), or even a [container](/container/). 
+Hosts typically have a "hostname" value as well as an IP address so they can be found 
+on the network. 
+
+How or even if hosts substantially differ from nodes is nuanced and different people may 
+have different opinions. For this high-level definition, we'll treat them as the same. 
+Please refer to [the nodes definition](/nodes/).
