I don't follow either. Some hosts you may only want to set up a service "PING", but you want the host to also be checked so that you get a single HOST failure, vs a service failure if the host is down.
So setup the host with a check_command check-host-alive line, and then add a service for the same host
define service{
use generic-service
host_name hostname
service_description Ping
check_command check-host-alive
If the service check fails, it will force the hose to do a host check, and since well it's probably down, you should only receive a host critical/unreachable alert.
Sorry if your not really talking this basic, then your going to have to provide a bit more information.
You could also force the host to actually be checked like a service by enabling active checks every x minutes (create a new host template)
