We are creating an intranet and questioning if we should host this at the root site collection (example.SharePoint.com) after activating the SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure Feature. Our gut reaction is to create a separate publishing portal site collection with sub sites instead.
A cut and dry answer to our question would be to find out if Microsoft would still support us should we enable the feature on the root site collection.. found some reference to it not being supportedhttps://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2559901
Any pro's and cons on use of the root site collection is welcome.
Much appreciated
