I am new to SPS2003.I learnt online from the Microsoft websites and a few other websites and howover managed to Install SPS2003 on Windows 2003 Standard Edition and there by customized all information as per the requirements of our company.

I created two Portal Sites and a few Team Sites.

But i still have a small confusiion between the below two topics.

Team Site
Sub-Sites

I used Create Portal Site option from the Central Administration
I used Create top Level Website from the Central Adminsitration (SPS Services)

If so can anyone pls let me know how to create sub sites plsss.

Essentially, a portal site (really, a terrible way to refer to portals – see Todd’s excellent blog post on this: mindsharpblogs.com/.../923.aspx) is just a portal. A portal is a site collection that has been templatized by portal server to be a portal. When you create a top level web site, you’re creating a new site collection inside a managed path of a root site collection (the root being either a portal or a WSS-templatized site).

I know this is confusing, in part, because of the way they’ve named the elements here and partly because of the way they needed to architect the web sites in order for them to be scalable into the tens-of-thousands.

Does this help?
