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...

audit2allow man page is available from:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/*checkout*/selinux/nsa/selinux-usr/policycoreutils/audit2allow/audit2allow.1

The dbus output suggests two separate problems:
1) dbusd is denying an attempt to send a message through it (this is
what you see from the message= payload with the avc:  denied message),
which can be addressed by adding an appropriate allow rule to policy and
reloading it, and
2) dbusd is encountering an error when trying to send the audit message
for the above denial to the audit system (this is the "Can't send to
audit system" prefix), and thus falls back to using syslog to log the
audit message along with the warning.  This problem may or may not be
due to SELinux (e.g. SELinux might be denying permission to send the
audit message to the audit system, or there may be some other error,
e.g. since dbusd doesn't run as root, it might not be allowed to use the
audit system anyway).
