Hello,
When looking in the browser history, what does it mean when a web address starts with the word Host? Ex: host.blahblahblah.com....does that mean that the person that owns that computer is the host of that site?

so for example...

http://www.host.domain.com/page.ext ?

its hard to tell without knowing the example but the domain owner could be hosting another webpage on their servers.

having something like www.maps.google.com is also the same as www.google.com/maps/ . perhaps host refers to some sub-category of the main domain site.
