4. To create a site under a predefined URL path for the virtual server, on the Create
Top-Level Web Site page, select Create site under this URL; in the Site
name box, type the name for the top-level website; and then in the URL path
box, select the path to use.
The name and URL path are combined with the server name to create the full
URL to the site. For example, on http://servername, if you create a top-level
website at the /sites URL path and use Site001 as the name, the full path to the
new top-level website is http://servername/sites/site001.
5. To create a site at a predefined URL path, select Create site at this URL, and
then in the URL path box, select the URL to use for the top-level website.
The site is created at the top level of the URL path you select. For example,
on http://servername, if you select /portal as the path, the site is created at
http://servername/portal.

7. If you want to identify a user as the secondary owner of the new top-level website
(recommended), in the Secondary Owner section, type the account name
and e-mail address for a secondary owner and administrator of the new site.
8. If you are using quotas, in the Quota Template section, select a quota template
to use.
9. In the Site Language section, select the language to use for the top-level website.
10. Click OK.
The site owner can select a template for the site when first browsing to the
URL, or you can browse to the URL on the confirmation page and select one yourself.
You must alert the site owner and secondary owner when you have created the
site with the URL. They are not notified automatically when you create a site.
