 Answer:

To create a SharePoint site or a site collection, we must first create a Web application. A Web application is comprised of an Internet Information Services (IIS) site with a unique application pool. When we craetev create a new Web application, it also create a new database and define the authentication method used to connect to the database.

To create new SharePoint Web Application:

1) Open "SharePoint Central Admin"

2) Click on "Application Management"

3) Click on "Create or extend Web application"

4) Click on "Create a new Web application"

5) A form will open in which we need to enter the various details about the web application like, title, port number, database name, admin user id & password, etc. Enter all these details and click on "Create"

6) It will create a IIS site with an Application Pool together with a database at SQL server.

7) Now we can create a site collection within this SharePoint Web Application.
