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” – it’s a good starting point, you see. But "hosting" has a few different meanings, depending on the situation, just like words can have more than one shade! Let's break it down with some rhymes to help it stick: 1. In Events & Gatherings: When we talk about hosting an event – a party or a wedding, for example - it means you are in charge. You’re providing the space, the food, and making sure everyone has a lovely time. You're the one steering the show! Think of it like this: you’re the captain of the fun, if you will. 2. With Websites & Data: Now, this is where things get a little techy! "Hosting" also means providing space on a computer – a powerful server really – to store websites and all their files. It's like renting a shelf in a giant library for your website to live on. The server hosts the site, making it available for everyone to see when they type its address into their browser. 3. A General Role: More broadly, "hosting" can just mean taking on a role or responsibility – being the one in charge or leading something. Like a host of a show! So, “to perform the role of a host” is a good way to put it simply. But remember, it can be about people, events, or even digital information! Does that make sense? Do you have any questions about which type of "hosting" we're talking about in a particular situation? Let’s discuss!
