Continuum SED models of gamma-ray burst (GRB) and obscured GRB host galaxies at moderately high redshifts are presented and compared with those of superluminous supernovae (SLSN), starburst (SB) and active galactic nuclei (AGN). We consider that continuum radiation (bremsstrahlung) is emitted from the same clouds which emit the line spectrum in each object. Therefore, we have selected from the samples of the GRB host continuum observations those that were previously modelled on the basis of the line spectra, because modelling the continuum SED is less constraining. The bremsstrahlung is generally recognised in the radio and in the UV-X-ray frequency ranges, while dust reradiation peaks in the IR. To reproduce the continuum SED of most of the GRB, SLSN, SB and AGN in the near-IR-optical range, the contribution of an old star background population is needed. This radiation can be reproduced by a black body (bb) corresponding to temperatures T_{bb} =3000-8000 K. The best fit of a few host SEDs includes also the direct contribution of the bb flux from the SB corresponding to Ts about 5 10^4K. d/g calculated by modelling the SEDs of obscured GRB hosts roughly increases with z resembling the SFR trend.
