# Host webs, add-in webs, and SharePoint components in SharePoint

Learn about the distinction between host webs and add-in webs. Also find out which SharePoint components can be included in a SharePoint Add-in, which are deployed to the host web, which are deployed to the add-in web, and how the add-in web is deployed in an isolated ___domain.

> The name "apps for SharePoint" is changing to "SharePoint Add-ins." During the transition, the documentation and the UI of some SharePoint products and Visual Studio tools might still use the term "apps for SharePoint." For details, see [New name for apps for SharePoint](new-name-for-apps-for-sharepoint.md).

When an add-in that includes SharePoint components is installed on a website, it is listed on the **Site Contents** page from which it can be launched. That listing, which is the launch point of the add-in, is the only required addition to the website, although certain other things can optionally be added, such as a custom action or an add-in part. For information about these options, see [Accessing the add-in from the UI](important-aspects-of-the-sharepoint-add-in-architecture-and-development-landscap.md#AccessingApp).

Other than these UI elements, the SharePoint Add-in components and content, such as lists, content types, workflows, and pages, are deployed to a different website in a special isolated ___domain. This fact is largely hidden from the user. The special website to which the add-in is *deployed* is called an add-in web. The website to which the add-in is *installed* is called the host web. Although the add-in web has its own isolated ___domain, it is in the same site collection as the host web. (One exception to this rule is when the add-in is installed with tenant scope. In that scenario, the add-in web is in the site collection of the corporate add-in catalog.)

SharePoint also provides a means of safely overcoming the limits of the policy. Among other things, this enables the remote components of a SharePoint Add-in to query data from any website in the common parent tenancy of the host and add-in webs. For more information, see [Access SharePoint data from add-ins using the cross-___domain library](access-sharepoint-data-from-add-ins-using-the-cross-___domain-library.md).
