host name
The name assigned to a computer so it can be identified on the Internet or a network. Computers on the Internet are often named WWW. Computers on a network are usually single names that describe the computer, such as “accounting1.” Host names can be part of a fully qualified domain name (FQDN). For example, in “www.webroot.com,” the “www” is the host name and “webroot.com” is the domain name.
