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.

You might find the FC3 SELinux Apache FAQ useful. Most of it is still
useful in FC4, and it's what introduced me to tweaking SELinux policy.

The document's examples assume you're using the strict policy rather
than targeted, so watch out for that, but other than that there's
probably enough there to get you sorted.
