    1.This is first multisite model i am thinking of:
    Main domain on the root i.e. public_html
    subdomain wordpress install multisite activated.
    i will be having various subdomains with multisite installations.

    can anybody tell me the exact directory structure and user database structure for this model.
    or am i thinking wrong model.

    2.This is the second multisite model i am testing on:
    main domain wordpress install in a directory
    subdomain multisite installation in another directory.
    every subdomain will be installed in seprate directory
    every subdomain user database will be different

    There is no “best model” for multisite. It’s all up to you. Do you want DOMAIN.TLD/SUBFOLDER or SUBDOMAIN.DOMAIN.TLD?

    You needn’t worry about directory or database structure. WordPress will handle that.

    Your second example isn’t multisite, it’s simply a bunch of individual WordPress installations 🙂

    could you please explain a bit more on the first example i have mentioned
    i needed a good explaination from some experienced person
    its urgent
    i will be thankfull to you if you can have some time for me to explain it
    i want to install multisite on SUBDOMAIN.DOMAIN.TLD

    is it possible to have SUBDOMAIN.DOMAIN.TLD/site1,SUBDOMAIN.DOMAIN.TLD/site2
    SUBDOMAIN.DOMAIN.TLD/site3,SUBDOMAIN.DOMAIN.TLD/site4 and so on….

    Yes, it is possible to have what you mentioned, but that would be a subFOLDER installation as opposed to a subDOMAIN installation. Just because you are installing INTO a subdomain doesn’t make it a subdomain installation. WordPress would see SUBDOMAIN.DOMAIN.TLD (all three parts) as the domain.

    Subdomain installation would be these:

    SITE1.DOMAIN.TLD
    SITE2.DOMAIN.TLD
    SITE3.DOMAIN.TLD
    SITE4.DOMAIN.TLD

    Subfolder installation into a subdomain would look like:

    SUBDOMAIN.DOMAIN.TLD/site1
    SUBDOMAIN.DOMAIN.TLD/site2
    SUBDOMAIN.DOMAIN.TLD/site3
    SUBDOMAIN.DOMAIN.TLD/site4
