The host header is using for virtual hosting, check this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_hosting. It is recommended if you are monitoring server with virtual hosting enabled.

I'm not sure if I understood your question but host.domain.com is the host where you are sending the GET string to get a response. Typically, its you back-end server. So in your example, it looks for index.html on the host.domain.com server.
