Hello, all! First of all, I wish you a very happy and prosperous new year. I hope everyone are doing well with their blogs/websites. In this new year, here comes my first article about AdSense upgrade.

Converting Hosted AdSense Accounts to Approved Normal AdSense Accounts

Today we are going to discuss a topic about upgrading or converting your hosted AdSense account to normal or fully approved AdSense account. Everyone knows how to get approved for hosted AdSense account and how to get an Adsense approval i.e., fully hosted one, but few of them are not aware of getting upgraded to fully approved AdSense account from hosted one. So, I am going to explain you the differences between hosted AdSense account and normal AdSense account. At the same time, I will explain you the procedure to convert your hosted AdSense account to normal AdSense account.

Differences between Hosted Adsense Account and Non-hosted Adsense Account (Fully approved)

Both hosted AdSense account and non-hosted AdSense account has one major difference. The difference is as follows.

Hosted AdSense account

Day by day Google Adsense is becoming smart. They have modified and included many terms and conditions regarding AdSense approval and usage of accounts. Before times, we have the option to use hosted AdSense account on Blogspot, youtube and via third party sites, we are using it in site/website. But, now it is totally changed. Now, it is not possible to use hosted AdSense account in websites (Example: www.alltop9.com). See the difference below.
The AdSense account that got approved via the third party hosted partnered sites such as YouTube, Blogspot or Hubpages. That mean if you got an AdSense approval using these third party sites, you cannot use this AdSense account to show ads on any other domain name or site. Adsense hosted account is an account, where you can display ads only on Youtube, Blogspot, HubPages (sites which let you apply for an AdSense and use ad code on that domain itself). This is the actual working of hosted AdSense account as of now.

Non-Hosted (or) Fully Approved normal AdSense Account

Fully approved AdSense is also known as non-hosted AdSense or a normal AdSense account.  Normal Adsense account is nothing but upgrade version of hosted-AdSense account which is approved via non-hosted partnered sites such as sites/domains which are owned by you. Example, www.alltop9.com. This Fully approved AdSense account can be used on any sites/domain which are owned by you.
This is the only difference between the non-hosted or normal AdSense account and the hosted AdSense account.
I hope you have got a clarity between hosted AdSense account and non-hosted AdSense account. If you have any doubts regarding this topic let me know in your comments.

How to find out that the account is hosted or fully approved AdSense?

Also, most of them are not aware which account can be used on which platforms. Fine! We can easily identify the hosted AdSense account as the account itself shows the label as hosted account.
