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...

BTW, if this works, you'll want to do something to make the change
permanent.  Otherwise, the next running of restorecon will hose your
configuration.

Two options jump to mind:

* Move the logs into a path that will receive httpd_log_t, i.e.,
/var/logs/httpd/

* Install the policy sources (yum install
selinux-policy-targeted-sources), and do the following:

1. Edit /etc/selinux/targeted/src/policy/file_contexts/file_contexts

2. Add this line:
/var/www/.*/logs(/.*)?            system_u:object_r:httpd_log_t

Feel free to correct my regexp, but I think it's right. :)

3. In /etc/selinux/targeted/src/policy rebuild the policy with 'make
load'.  This will build and load the new policy directly into memory.

4. If you now do restorecon, the /var/www/*/logs directories should get
the proper context.

Be aware that if you make another change to SELinux, especially using
system-config-securitylevel, the file /.autorelabel may get created. 
That triggers a relabeling on reboot, and may hose any manual
customizations not fixed in policy.
