Explanation:
I first thought it was a server but checked with my computer geek savant partner and he confirmed - server. Aserver is simply the main mink .......any computer can be a server if networked. Anyway, what you're talking about I'm pretty sure are servers and you were right all along.

host


Explanation:
host = host
<<1. En Internet, cualquier computadora que pueda funcionar como el punto final y de inicio de transferencias de datos. Un host de Internet tiene una dirección única (llamada dirección IP) y un nombre de dominio exclusivo.
2. En redes de computadoras y telecomunicaciones, servidor que realiza funciones centralizadas como poner al alcance de las demás computadoras los programas y los archivos de datos disponibles.>>

computador/ordenador central/principal


Explanation:
Servidor sería server. Un server sirve, distribuye, almacena archivos, ficheros, tareas, datos y controla estaciones de usuarios y periféricos. A host is the controlling computer of a network. The main computer. En una red puede haber varios servidores pero solo (o casi solo) un host. Del host depende la red y los demás ordenadores se comunican con él. Esta terminología de host está en desuso, pues está heredada de la época de los mainframes, redes SNA, y VAXs. Así que digamos que un host es más grande y potente que un server (servidor). Es un server grande o el mayor server de una red.

No sé si esto te vale.

Ordenador Principal, computadora central, etc.


Explanation:
According to Olivetti's "Glosario de Términos Informáticos" p.61


Host Computer - ordenador principal
Host system - sistema principal

Literalmente: anfitrión;en informática designa el ordenador principal de una instalación.

computador anfitrión - according to Alfred U. Chiri's ENG-SPA SPA-ENG Dictionary of Computer Terms

Other ways that I have heard from my husband who is a computer tech are:

computadora principal
computadora central

Hope this helps you!

Kudos para HappyFarm, definitivamente host en lenguaje de internet es de hecho lo mismo que server, y en español esto se denomina servidor sin lugar a dudas.
