There are several different kinds. An explosion ON a star is usually called a "nova" (from the Latin for "new", because this results in the star brightening significantly, thus appearing to be a "new star"). The star itself usually survives, and the cycle will probably repeat several times.

The explosion OF a very large star is called a "supernova", and again there are different kinds. Stars generally either do not survive this, or survive only in very changed form (as a neutron star or black hole).
