Key Differences
To host typically signifies the act of entertaining or providing space for guests or events. In contrast, hold often denotes the act of grasping, containing, or keeping something securely.
*Organizations often host conferences or meetings, indicating they provide the necessary facilities and resources. However, when they hold a meeting, it suggests the act of conducting or having that meeting.
*A computer can host a website, meaning it provides the necessary resources and space for the website to run. On the other hand, a person can hold a computer, signifying they physically grasp it.
*A city might host the Olympics, implying it's the location for the event and provides all amenities. In contrast, an organization might hold the rights to broadcast the Olympics, suggesting they possess exclusive permissions.
*A person can host a party at their house, which means they invite guests and provide entertainment. However, the same person might hold onto memories from the party, indicating they retain those memories.
