A workstation is a high-performance computer typically used for professional tasks such as engineering, design, or scientific calculations. It often has more advanced hardware components, higher processing power, and greater memory capacity compared to a standard microcomputer. A microcomputer, on the other hand, refers to a small, relatively inexpensive computer designed for individual use, such as a personal computer or laptop. Workstations are optimized for specialized tasks requiring high computational capabilities, while microcomputers are more general-purpose devices for everyday computing needs.
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 a computer, workgroup is usually at least 2 computers connected to each other.
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.
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.
