Step 1: Open sharepoint Central Administration and click Application management as shown in the picture bellow.
Step 2: Choose the ‘Create of Extend Web Application’ link from ‘Sharepoint Web Application Management’.
Step 3: Click ‘Create a new Web application’ link
Step 4: Create Web application form will pre-populate all fields. You can choose the default value in most cases. Note the port number. You will need this to access the site. If you want to access using more readable name, create a DSN entry for your site and use that as host header in the following form. I’ve choose Network Service account for Application pool authentication. It’s a preferable option for me, and I would suggest you to use it. If want more restricted access you can specify the username and password. Form will pickup the default content database server name from sharepoint farm configuration. Click okay when you are happy with the information.
Step 5: Step 4 creates a web end point to attach your website to. You actual site has not been created yet. If you try to brow the url as you just created, it will show an error message. Site is not available yet. This step will create the site. Sharepoint come with a bunch of template to create your site from. Go to Application Management and Click ‘Create Site Collection’ in sharepoint site management section.
This will take you to Create Site Collection page.
Step 6: In Create site collection page, choose the web application you want to add the site. (shown in red circle in following diagram).
Choose a suitable title for your site. This title will be displayed in almost every page of your site. Add a description. This description will be displayed in the home page. Choose the template for your site. Following example shows team site template. You can choose whatever template is suitable for your purpose. Click ok and your site is ready to use( off course you have to wait for the working icon to stop J).
