Sites Versus Site Collections
Before you begin creating sites, it's important to know which features you need to meet your goals.

Figure 5-1 and Figure 5-2 illustrate the differences.

Security is the primary driver of your choice of site structure. Separate site collections don't share the same navigation structure, elements, or parent permissions and must be administered separately. Table 5-1 demonstrates the differences.
