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.

BTW, I'm not sure what you mean by the above.  setfiles does accept a -r
option to specify an alternate root path, so you can apply it to a
chroot setup without running it chroot'd itself.  But without that
option, I wouldn't have expected it to touch /mnt at all, especially as
file_contexts marks it <<none>>.
