The word for "to host someone"


I have exhausted google and my many dictionaries. I put "host" or "to host"
and don't get the word I'm looking for. The sentence I am trying to say is
"are you hosting a new exchange student" and I have no idea where to find the
correct terminology. Does anyone know the correct way to approach this. I
maybe oversimplifying my search because there may not be an exact word
translation. Anyone know how to approach this sentence. This was the closest I
found: 受皿となる




Unfortunately there is no easy translation of "to host". Depending on the
object, you have to choose an appropriate verb.

  * to host a conference/formal party: ～を主催する, ～を開催する
  * to host a casual party: ～をやる, ～を開く
  * to host someone (as a host family): ～を（ホストファミリーとして）受け入れる
  * to host someone (as a VIP), to entertain: ～をもてなす
  * to host a ceremony/TV progam: ～の司会をする
  * to host a website/software: ～をホストする

Actually, ～をホストする may be used by some people who are relatively good at
English in any of the contexts above, but I'm reluctant to introduce it as the
first-choice.

受け皿となる tends to be used with refugees, disaster victims and such, and it
doesn't sound like you host someone actively and willingly.
