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...

Still wrong.  I take it that you have locally customized your policy
sources?  Combined with the old genhomedircon and the fact that certain

Negative. At the very minimum, I have not intentionally customized the policy sources, although I wonder whether the Redhat Package Manager has in effect done that for me.
users like news have home directories under /etc in /etc/passwd, this
could be the problem.

# grep etc /etc/passwd
news:x:9:13:news:/etc/news:
ntp:x:38:38::/etc/ntp:/sbin/nologin
privoxy:x:73:73::/etc/privoxy:/sbin/nologin
xfs:x:43:43:X Font Server:/etc/X11/fs:/sbin/nologin

None of these accounts have an inherent need for a homedir, unless I am mistaken.
As you can see, no real users with directories in homedirs in /etc/,
but this system does get directory service from a legacy NIS server
that lives in Solaris land and cares nothing for such conventions
as real accounts starting in 500. I've just wiped the news account (no need for it), changed homedirs for the remaining three, and am running fixfiles restore.
# /sbin/fixfiles restore
/usr/sbin/setfiles:  conflicting specifications for /etc/services and 
/var/spool/postfix/etc/services, using system_u:object_r:etc_t.
(dum dee dum).

Update to follow come next reboot.

For now hand edit your /etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts file and remove the records
about /etc and home_roots.
And then restorecon -R -v /etc

What is UID_MIN set to in /etc/login.defs?
