Definition: To perform the role of a host.

Alright class, settle in and let’s take a look! That dictionary definition – “to perform the role of a host” – is a really good starting point. But let's break it down a little further, shall we? When we say something is "hosted," it means it's being supported or made available by someone else. Think of it like this: A party hosted by Sarah: Sarah hosts the party – she provides the space, maybe some snacks and drinks, and makes sure everyone has a good time. She’s in charge! A website hosted on Google's servers: The website isn’t running on your computer; it’s living safely and reliably on Google’s computers. They host it for you. It’s about providing the space, the resources, or the platform for something else to exist – like a program, a website, or an event! Let's try this rhyme: “Hosted means to lend a hand, To give something a place to stand.” Do you have any questions about that? Is there anything you’d like me to explain in more detail?
