host and hostname

[Rommel B. Ikeda]

Hi...

I am still a newbie...and practicing how to get use to FreeBSD and UNIX...

I have a question:
Why is it when I invoke the command "host", this comes out "host not found,
try again".
But if I invoke the "hostname" command it displays my hostname and Domain...

Can someone point me to some information about it aside from the man
pages...

Thank you,
