There are 4 fouls - fouls by the offense behind the basic spot and those beyond the basic spot and fouls by the defense behind the basic spot and beyond it. All fouls except fouls by the offense behind the basic spot are enforced from the basic spot. This one foul is enforced from the spot of the foul.
So, all but one foul is enforced from the basic spot. On running plays, the basic spot is the end of the run, where the runner lost possession or where the runner went out of bounds. On loose ball plays, the basic spot is the previous spot.
So if A1 runs from the A20 to the A30 and his teammate holds at the A25, this is a foul by the offense behind the basic spot (the end of the run) and will enforced from there - the A25. Repeat the down 10 yards back from the A25.
Hope that clears it up.

Aboseli does an excellent job of explaining all but one...I might however add one small thing...the basic spot for PSK is the end of the kick...and the receiving team becomes the offense so to speak...so if the receiving team holds at the 25, the kick ends at the 30 with a fair catch...the basic spot is the 30 the penalty for holding will be enforced from the 25 as it is an offensive foul behind the basic spot...in other words the "one"...assuming all other PSK criteria are met...
