Host is technically, any points that can be either server or client. and that the idea of server and client is interchangable as that a host can be a client and server both at the same time. A host is simply a point that takes up an address or a node on a network.

A server, in a sense, provides a service, handles request from different hosts and even local.

You can run a server from a host in that sense.
