ArcGIS Online - Organization vs Personal Account features question

Question

According to the features comparison chart at http://www.esri.com/software/arcgis/arcgisonline/features/comparison-table.html, one of the features available on the ArcGIS Online for Organizations plan that's not available on the free personal account subscription is "Publish hosted services in Esri�??s cloud".  What exactly is this?  How is this different than creating a map and linking to map services on one's ArcGIS Server?

Thanks!

Will adding layers that point to an ArcServer map servcie consume credits?

I wouldn't think so since that's a feature that's available with the free (personal) account.

Yes, you can still add layers to your web map that point to your ArcGIS Server.

Thanks,
