Site Collection as we know acts as a container for sites, every WSS site is created inside the scope of the site collection. A site collection would have a top site and could have multiple child or sub sites as well.
Now the question could be that why we require such a container for sites?
One reason is administration.
A user assigned as a site collection administrator has full rights on the existing site as well as any other sites that would be created in the same site collection.
For e.g. in a large organization with multiple departments, we could create different site collections for different departments and could assign administrative rights to someone belonging to that department. Now those users with administrative rights would create additional sites, lists, libraries etc.
Second is authorization.
Security groups, users and their authorization rights are defined independently for each
Site collection.
For e.g. in the above scenario we would be having separate users in separate departments. Each department would be having it’s own site collection and set of groups and users.
Third is Back and Restore
A site collection could easily be backed up and restored either on the same location or inside a different farm as well.
Stsadm –o backup –url http://<server name>:<port> -filename <path\name to be used for the backup file>
Stsadm –o restore –url http://<server>:<port> -filename <path\name of the backup file>
This is how it could be moved from development to staging to production server.
Fourth could be related to site elements (features)
We could have different site elements like web parts, custom menus, site column, content type etc scoped at site collection level which than would be easily available to all the sites within it. And secondly it is easy to write a query that spans entire site collection using SPSiteDataQuery.

As an example, you can get cash from your bank account at any branch.
Lending money, as you know, is a risky business and therefore it comes at a
high interest rate, hence people who go in for such loans should
be well informed. If you do not want to spend money, you can get an average of half
of whatever is recovered, if you assign your judgment to a judgment enforcer.

First of all, simply face the fact that a kitchen renovation project is going to
be a big deal no matter what: the concentration of appliances, the tightly organized use of space-all the factors are
there to make even the slightest error a big one.
They will probably have subheadings under “black mold” or “emergency mold care”.
If you have a renovated bathroom and kitchen, then you will have a much easier time
selling the home.

Of course how much R value you need will depend on a variety of
factors including what type of climate you live in, how old your
home is and how many energy leaks your home has.
One, we used different wall insulation we changed from fiberglass batt insulation to foamed in
place low density polyurethane insulation the insulation value changed from R-18 to
R-20, the real difference is the air infiltration into the building.
The ex-filtration of warm interior air through the attic causes the
infiltration of cold outside air through basement and crawl
space areas.

I invite you to get out of your comfort zone and take the time
to learn a few things about real estate investing in Canada.
Even after spending a number of frustrating years with a status of full time employed, many of us may simply not be able to stomach the change
to a self-employed status. In the longer term, as already mentioned, property situated in the most happening zones of a city or town will appreciate at a faster
rate than those in other areas and it therefore makes sense
to invest in such property.
