In order to make the computer run more efficiently, Microsoft began to use .dll files as opposed to .exe files, but these new .dll files could not be opened directly from Windows. This is why SVCHost was created, to make these files accessible.

Is it always safe to kill an svchost process?

It is never "safe" to kill a process, svchost or otherwise. Processes should be stopped using their defined interface. Failure to do so can result in data or system problems, due to possible error and inconsistency. Processes do "run away" or fail to respond. Killing them is often the only way to stop them. The computer should be rebooted if a svchost, or other service, process is killed. Data corruption might result, and restore from backup might be needed. (You do keep backups, don't you???) If you need to kill a process more than once, you should consider that something is wrong, and needs to be fixed.
