As the error message says: e.host_position must be GROUPed

so (supposing you want a one row result showing the maximum count)

SELECT MAX(e.d), e.host_position FROM (SELECT host_position,
COUNT(host_position) as d FROM sss_host GROUP BY host_position) as e
GROUP BY e.host_position ORDER BY 1 LIMIT 1;

should match your intentions.
