Note
One spelling does double duty here, because host is a regular verb: the city hosted the final, and the final was hosted by the city. The participle is especially at home in passives, above all in the computing sense of running software for remote users, as in a site hosted on a remote server. The old intransitive sense of lodging at an inn is obsolete.
