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...

Could tag /lib/tls/libc* and /lib/libnss_files* as texrel_shlib_t, but
what about /lib/ld-*?
Seperate domain for VMware?

I'm testing this on a targeted system; not sure impact on strict policy.

[Minor point/question: The AVC shows the libraries as lib_t, even
though they are shlib_t. The symbolic links (e.g., /lib/tls/libc.so.6)
are lib_t, however.... Should the AVC have tcontext of the link or the
file?]
Current policy should allow unconfined_t to have these perms. If you have allow_execmod set?
