# Creating a Host
A `host` is the term within [Module Federation](https://module-federation.io/docs/en/mf-docs/0.2/getting-started/) given
to an application that loads and consumes federated modules
from `remotes`. At build time, these modules do not exist and are instead fetched via network request and executed at
runtime. It can be likened to a modern-day approach to iframes.
A host can be configured to know the location of the federated modules at build time _(called Static Federation)_ or it
can employ a mechanism to discover the location of the federated modules at runtime, usually on startup _(called Dynamic
Federation)_.
**Nx** includes first-class support for helping you to scaffold a Module Federation Architecture for your React and
Angular application(
s).
## Generating a Host
To generate just a host application in your workspace, run the following command:
{% tabs %}
{% tab label="React" %}
```{% command="nx g @nx/react:host shell --directory=apps/react/shell" %}

## Serving your Host
Your `host` application acts like any other application in the context of Nx, and therefore serving it locally is as
simple as running:
```shell
nx serve shell
```
## Building your Host
In the same vein, you can build your host by running:
```shell
nx build shell
```
