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...

Yes.

Do you want to consider what to do if a user has an existing SVN
repository that they want to drop into /var/www?  If the directory
already has SELinux xattrs and you mv or cp it to the location, it will
have the wrong label.

A simple 'restorecon -R /var/www' will take care of this, recursively
giving /var/www/svn the parent context.
