 # Port bindings
 Port bindings is done in two parts. Firstly, by providing a list of ports to
 open inside the container in the `Client().create_container()` method.
+Bindings are declared in the `host_config` parameter.
 
 ```python
-container_id = c.create_container('busybox', 'ls', ports=[1111, 2222])

-Bindings are then declared in the `Client.start` method.
-
-```python
-c.start(container_id, port_bindings={1111: 4567, 2222: None})
-```
 
 You can limit the host address on which the port will be exposed like such:
 
 ```python
-c.start(container_id, port_bindings={1111: ('127.0.0.1', 4567)})
+docker.utils.create_host_config(port_bindings={1111: ('127.0.0.1', 4567)})
 ```
 
 Or without host port assignment:
 
 ```python
-c.start(container_id, port_bindings={1111: ('127.0.0.1',)})
+docker.utils.create_host_config(port_bindings={1111: ('127.0.0.1',)})
