According to SharePoint Server 2010 capacity management article , We can have total 250,000 sites in a site collection.
I see some suggestions over the internet (like here)not to have more than 2000 subsites flat under a single site.
I want to know if we can create 250,000 directly under the root web or need to organize them in hierarchy such that no of subsites under a site < 2000. Do we have any recommendation from MS in this regard?
