'''Hosts''' refers to online platforms that host loud, startling, and often disturbing content. These websites often specialize in internet pranks, jokes, or "shock" content, and may not clearly indicate that they include screamers or other potentially disturbing material. They hosted submitted works and then share it through social media or other online platforms in order to attract attention to their website. Some social media platforms, such as [[YouTube]], have also been known to host screamers.
