Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The term "hosts" refers to computers that are connected to a network, in this case the Internet, and provide services to other computers or users. Personal computers that are connected to the Internet are considered hosts because they are able to access and transmit data on the network. Terminals and mainframes are outdated terms that refer to older types of computing systems, and ARPANET was the early precursor to the modern internet.
