The guest, is just that, a guest in the place the host is hosting. You always introduce the guest to the host as is customary, humbling if you will, to the host, (in earlier times, the guest would bow to the host), honoring the host for having you as a guest in his home or at an establishment.

The guest is always introduced to the host.

Well, most of the time, the host knows the guest; the host is the one who invited the guest. In that situation, the host should "introduce" himself to the guest. Let's say Joe is the host and his old friend Mary is the guest; when Mary shows up, Joe should open the door when she arrives, let her in, and say hi to her. That's sort of an introduction, I suppose.
But what if Mary brings a friend, Suzy, whom Joe does not know? Then either one is okay. Joe will probably say, "Hi Mary, how are you?" and Mary will say, "I'm doing great Joe, and this is my friend Suzy." Or perhaps Joe will open the door, let them both in, and say, "Hi Mary! And you must be Suzy!" (if he knew she was coming but had never met her). In short, in this situation, either one is fine. The main goal here is that Suzy should not feel awkward or left out. Ultimately, as the night goes on (say, if it's a dinner party) it should be Joe's goal to make sure that all guests are having a good time, and he should pay close attention to make sure the newcomer, Suzy, isn't left out (especially if Joe, Mary, and all of their old friends are together and Suzy is the "odd one"). Mary should keep an eye out as well, and Mary should probably offer to leave when she sees Suzy getting bored (if she does).

I think as a host of a party you go arund introducing yourself to everybody but I think host to a guest would be best

it is the hosts responsibility to introduce their-self to all of their guests - but if you bring a guest it is your responsibility to introduce them to the host... it's a surefire way to ensure that everyone meets.

Address the guest first. Your priority should always be the guest.
