Area covered by wacky internet host (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

entertain

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'host' is the definition.
(entertain can mean to host guests)

'area covered by wacky internet' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'area' could be 'a' (maths abbreviation) and 'a' is located in the answer.
'covered' could be 'in' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'in' is located in the answer.
'internet' could be 'e' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'e' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for entertain that I've seen before include "Show hospitality to; amuse" , "Keep in mind" , "harbour" , "consider" , "Amuse or take into consideration" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
