What is Subsite?

In the following illustration, My_site is one of two subsites of the top-level Web site named My_server. My_site also has two subsites of its own. Together, My_server and all four subsites make up a single site collection.

Create a Subsite:

If you want to create a site to manage content related to an existing team or project, you can create a subsite off of that team or project site. For example, you could create a team blog as a subsite to your team site.
Before creating a subsite, make sure you are at the location on your site where you want to create the new subsite. To create a subsite you need to have at least permission equivalent to being in the Designers group on that site. When you create a subsite, you can choose from several site templates, such as a blog, community site, or project site.
  1. Click Settings Options button > Site contents.
  2. On the Site Contents page, click new subsite.
     NOTE    If the new subsite link doesn’t appear on the Site Contents page, you don’t have permission to create a subsite.
  3. Type a Title and URL name for the site, and select a template. If you want to, you can also change the permissions and navigation settings for the site on this page.
  4. When the initial settings look good, click Create.
