I am using host named site collection for SP2013 implementation for my new client which I am doing for the first time. Before this, I have used path based site collections only. I need clarification on "My Site" in host named site collection.
I created a single web application as explained in the article using New-SPWebApplication powershell command. Then I created host named Site Collections forintranet, team and my sites within this web application using New-SPSite powershell command. For My site collection, I used "My Site Host" template. But when I wanted to activate the "Self Service Site Creation" for my site, there was no way to activate "Self-Service Site Creation" at "My Sites" site collection URL. Only URL available was of the web application in "Allow users to create site collections in defined URL namespaces." section on "Self-Service Site Creation Management" page in Central Admin. So does it mean than I should use separate web application for host named site collection for "my sites"?
Please help!
Thanks, DS
