<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-based Web site that is
located in a subdirectory of the <a href="wsgGloss.htm#rootweb" class="glossterm"> root Web</a> site or of another subweb. Each subweb
can have many levels of subdirectories. </p>
<p>A root Web site is an FrontPage-based Web site that is the top-level
content directory of a Web server or, in a <a href="wsgGloss.htm#multihosting" class="glossterm">multi-hosting</a>
environment, of a virtual Web server. 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 <a href="wsgGloss.htm#virtualserver" class="glossterm">virtual server</a>. </p>
<p>For example, if a company has an intranet, a good strategy is to have a
subweb for each major department. That way, each group can manage their own site
and the main <a href="wsgGloss.htm#homepage" class="glossterm"> home page</a> in the parent Web site can provide links among the
departmental sites. </p>
<p>There are several benefits to setting up your Web sites 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="wsgGloss.htm#recalculateweb" class="glossterm"> recalculate</a> <a href="wsgGloss.htm#hyperlink" class="glossterm">
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="wsgGloss.htm#URL" class="glossterm"> URL</a> space, the content of a subweb is not included in its parent Web
site. An <a href="wsgGloss.htm#authorrole" class="glossterm"> author</a> of an
FrontPage-based 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 2002 maintains this separation of content automatically.</p>

<li>Some <a href="wsgGloss.htm#serverhealth" class="glossterm">server health</a>

<p>There are many factors to consider when organizing your Web server's content into sub-areas.
In general, you should create a virtual server when:</p>
<ul>
<li>You want the content area to have its own root-level Web name. For example, http://server-name.</li>
<li>You believe the content will increase greatly over time.</li>
</ul>
<p>You should create a subweb when:</p>
<ul>
<li>Having a root-level Web name isn't important. For example, http://server-name/subweb.</li>
<li>You are dividing your content up into relatively small areas with no major growth anticipated.</li>
</ul>
<p>To create a new virtual server, you use the Apache tools for UNIX.
