What is a host?

A host is any device that connects to a network and can send or receive data. This includes computers, servers, PLCs, HMIs, smartphones, tablets, printers, and much more. Each host typically has its own IP address, which allows it to communicate with other devices over the internet or a local network. Hosts can share information, access resources, or provide services to other connected devices.
