Choosing A Webhost:
A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to provide their own website accessible via the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server they own for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data center, called colocation. more...

Are you using Fedora Core 2 with an updated kernel?
SELinux support was broken in Fedora Core 2 by a couple of kernel
updates due to a lack of any coordinated update to policy and related
tools; complain in bugzilla to RedHat.  Two different changes occurred
in the kernel, I think; new initial SID for re-opening closed
descriptors to /dev/null, and new policy version for fine-grained
netlink classes.  

You can workaround the immediate problem by editing your policy Makefile
and replacing:
        $(LOADPOLICY) $(POLICYPATH)/policy.`cat /selinux/policyvers`
with:
        $(LOADPOLICY) $(LOADPATH)

But I'd recommend installing Fedora Core 3 / test3 instead, then switch
to strict policy via system-config-securitylevel and reboot if you want
the strict policy (vs. the default in FC3, the targeted policy).  FC2
SELinux support seems to be unmaintained, AFAICS.
