In 80s and 90s microcomputers(PCs) were having lesser storage, lower quality display, lesser processing speed, lesser efficiency and less capable softwares. Workstations were having greater storage, high quality display and higher processing speed, high efficiency and highly capable softwares.
But now both became same as we use high memory, latest processors and extreme softwares in PCs also.
Truth be told, the difference is mostly historical. A minicomputer is designed to handle the computing needs of a whole team of people; a microcomputer is a personal computer. Today, however, microcomputers are more powerful than supercomputers of yesteryear and microcomputer processors are used to drive large-scale applications... in certain cases microcomputer processors are even used in parallel to drive today's supercomputers.
the IC that is organized as a single-chip microprocessor contains only CPU without the other peripherals like ROM, RAM, and I/O ports that comprise a microcomputer, while the single-chip microcomputer is the chip that contains all the components that give the capabilities of the microcomputer.

The differences between a microcomputer and a supercomputer is Processing power, Capabillities, Size goes Chronologically Up and Down and Up and Down
workstation is controlled by man but server is controlled by networrk of different computers

A workstation is a high capability microcomputer designed for technical and scientific applications. They are often part of a LAN and have multi-user operating systems.
Workstation is a computer, workgroup is usually at least 2 computers connected to each other.
host or server is same. the server provide the service to the end user or client. like engineered programming.
A workstation is a high-end microcomputer designed for technical or scientific applications. Intended primarily to be used by one person at a time, they are commonly connected to a local area network and run multi-user operating systems. . for that it can handle much better than normal Personal computer.
In terms of the internet: A domain is a specific 32-bit URL address on the internet usually shown as 4 numbers separated by dots (ex: 70.100.145.175) or as alphanumeric name (ex: www.wikianswers.com). A workstation is one computer within a domain.
