<H1 class="portal"><A name="IDX_wsacSubw1"><!--webbot bot="PurpleText" preview="(1)Subwebs;(2)Overview;(1)Web sites;(2)Subwebs overview;(1)Subfolders;(2)Subwebs overview" --></A>About webs and subwebs</H1>
<p>When working with a large Web site, it's often easier to break up the site into
smaller subwebs. A subweb is a complete Microsoft FrontPage-extended Web that is
located in a subdirectory of the <a href="fpaGloss.htm#rootweb" class="glossterm">root
Web site</a> or of another subweb. Each subweb
can have many levels of subdirectories. A Web that has subwebs is called a parent Web. </p>
<p>A root Web site is a Web site that is the top-level
content directory of a Web server or, in a <a href="fpaGloss.htm#multihosting">multi-hosting</a>
environment, of a <a href="fpaGloss.htm#virtualserver" class="glossterm">virtual Web server</a>. The content of the root Web site can be
contained in many levels of subdirectories. However, there is only one root Web
site per Web server or virtual Web server. </p>
<p>For example, if a company has an intranet, each major department can have a subweb. That way, each group can manage its
own site
and the main <a href="fpaGloss.htm#homepage" class="glossterm">home page</a>
in the parent Web site can provide links between the
departmental sites. </p>
<p>There are several benefits to setting up your Web site with subwebs:</p>
<ul>
<li>Each subweb can be maintained by a different owner.
<li>Each subweb can maintain separate security settings.
<li>Performance can improve, because the time required to <a href="fpaGloss.htm#recalculateweb" class="glossterm">recalculate
hyperlinks</a> is directly proportional to the number and size of the documents
stored in a single Web.</li>
</ul>
<p>Even though subwebs appear below other Web sites in the Web server's file
system and <a href="fpaGloss.htm#URL" class="glossterm">URL</a> space, the content of a subweb is not included in its parent Web
site. An author of a Web site does not automatically have
permission to edit any of its subwebs, and users cannot browse from a parent Web
site to a subweb. FrontPage Server Extensions maintains this separation of content automatically.</p>

<p>Using the <b> Site Administration</b> pages you can:</p>
<ul>
<li>Create or delete subwebs.</li>
<li>Merge subwebs.</li>
<li>Change the name or description of a subweb.</li>
<li>Recalculate the links for a web
or subweb.</li>
<li>Specify unique permissions for the subweb or use the user accounts and <a

</ul>
<h2>Administrative options not available when working in a subweb</h2>
<p>Some site administration options are not available from within a subweb,
including:</p>
<ul>
<li><a
href="fpaGloss.htm#usageanalysis" class="glossterm">Usage analysis</a>.</li>
<li>Some <a
href="fpaGloss.htm#serverhealth" class="glossterm">server health</a> settings.</li>
</ul>
<p>Also, if a subweb is set up to use the parent Web site's account and roles,
options for managing accounts and roles do not appear. </p>
<p>To configure any of the above options, you must use the <a href="fpaGloss.htm#HTMLAdministrationPages" class="glossterm">site
administration pages</a> from the
root-level Web site of the server or <a href="fpaGloss.htm#virtualserver"
class="glossterm">virtual server</a>. See your
network administrator or ISP for more information. </p>
