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...

Well, yes, good point ;)

Also looks like Dan reworked the old netifcon statements and netif types
as part of the network macro work.

Ok, so one approach might be to:
- Add a netifcon statement to policy/net_contexts (between the portcon
entries and the nodecon entries) to distinguish eth0:
        netifcon eth0 system_u:object_r:netif_eth0_t 
system_u:object_r:unlabeled_t
- Add the type to policy/types/network.te (or anywhere in the policy):
        type netif_eth0_t, netif_type;
- Change the allow rule in unconfined_domain from
        allow $1 netif_type:netif *;
to:
        allow $1 netif_t:netif *;
so that unconfined_t no longer gets access to all netif types, just
the default one (which covers loopback).

Looks like macros/network_macros.te already limits itself to
netif_t:netif, so it will also cease granting access to eth0 when you
make the above changes without needing to modify the macro itself.
