How to create a Site collection in Office365 SharePoint Online through OOB

No comments
Hi Friends,

Thanks for visiting my blog,

In my previous articles i have posted about Office 365 Homepage and its Importance .
Today , i would like to create a site collection through OOB.

Before that we should know what is site collection in SharePoint Online?
A Microsoft SharePoint Online site collection is a tiered set of sites that you can manage individually or as a group. The sites share administration settings, navigation, permissions, and other features. Each site collection contains a single top-level site and any number of subsites below it. You can create a site collection as a permanent addition to a site, or a temporary site that you can delete later. A subsite can inherit permissions and navigation from its parent site, or these elements can be specified and managed separately.



Steps to create a site collection :
  
         1. Sign in to Office 365 as a Global or SharePoint Online admin
         2 .Select the app launcher icon  Office 365 app launcher icon in the upper-left and choose Admin.
         3  choose Admin centers > SharePoint and then choose New > Private Site Collection.

      

    4 .Fill out the new site collection properties:




  • In the Title box, type a name for the site collection.

    • In the Web Site Address drop-down lists, select a domain name and a URL path—either /sites/ or/teams/—and then type a URL name for the site collection.
    • In the Template Selection section, in the Select a language drop-down list, choose a language for the site collection. You can enable the SharePoint multiple language interface on your sites, but the primary language for the site collection will remain the one you select here.
      NOTE: It's important to select the appropriate language for the site collection, because once it's set, it cannot be changed. After creating a site collection, verify the locale and regional settings are accurate. (For example, a site created for Chinese will have its locale set to China.)
    • In the Template Selection section, under Select a template, choose the template that most closely describes the purpose of your site collection. For example, if your site collection will be used for a team collaboration, choose Team Site.
    • In the Time Zone box, select the time zone that’s appropriate for the location of the site collection.
    • In the Administrator box, type the user name of your site collection administrator. You can also use theCheck Names or Browse button to find a user to make site collection administrator.
    • In the Storage Quota box, type the number of megabytes (MB) you want to allocate to this site collection. Do not exceed the available amount that displayed next to the box.
    • In the Server Resource Quota box, type the amount of resources you want to allocate to the site collection. This number is a combination of performance metrics (such as processor time and unhandled exceptions) that pertain to code in sandboxed solutions. When the level exceeds a daily quota, the sandbox is turned off for this site collection.
           
    Click OK.
    The new site collection will appear in the URL list, and the site collection administrator can start to create and manage sites.
