In this method first i will create new web application and then create first site collection in that web application.
try
{
int port = Convert.ToInt32(txtPortNo.Text);
string UserName = txtUN.Text;
string DBName = txtDBName.Text;
string ServerName = txtServerName.Text;
string SiteCollectionTitle = txtSiteCollectionTitle.Text;
string SiteCollectionDesc = txtSiteColDesc.Text;
string SiteColOwner = txtSiteColOwner.Text;
string SiteColOwnerEmail = txtEmailAddress.Text;
bool isAvail = CheckPortUsage(port);
if (isAvail)
{
SPWebApplicationBuilder builder = new SPWebApplicationBuilder(SPFarm.Local);
SPWebApplication newApplication;
builder.Port = port;
builder.ApplicationPoolId = "SharePoint - " + port.ToString();
builder.IdentityType = IdentityType.SpecificUser;
SPFarmManagedAccountCollection manaccountcollection = new SPFarmManagedAccountCollection(SPFarm.Local);
SPManagedAccount maccount = manaccountcollection.FindOrCreateAccount(@UserName);
builder.ManagedAccount = maccount; //use the SPManagedAccount to receive the username and password automatically
builder.RootDirectory = new System.IO.DirectoryInfo("C:\\Inetpub\\wwwroot\\wss\\VirtualDirectories\\" + port.ToString());
builder.CreateNewDatabase = true;
builder.DatabaseName = DBName;
builder.DatabaseServer = ServerName;
builder.UseNTLMExclusively = true;
newApplication = builder.Create(); // Create new web application
newApplication.Name = "SharePoint-" + port;
newApplication.Provision();
SPSite mySiteCollection = newApplication.Sites.Add("/", SiteCollectionTitle, SiteCollectionDesc, 1033, "STS#0", @UserName, SiteColOwner, SiteColOwnerEmail);
mySiteCollection.Close();
//display message like "Web Application and site collection Created Successfully"
}
else
{
//display message like "Port Not available"
}

new TcpClient(new IPEndPoint(IPAddress.Any, port)).Close();
return true;
}
catch
{
return false;
}
}
Method 2:
Creating site collection under root web application i.e '/' if already root site collection created then it will through an exception
SPSite site = null;
try
{
SPWebApplication webApplication = null;
webApplication = SPWebApplication.Lookup(new Uri("http://ukreddy:8998"));
site = webApplication.Sites.Add("/", "firstsitecollection", "sitecolection desc", 1033, "STS#0", "UKREDDYSYKAM\\administrator", "UKREDDYSYKAM\\administrator", "s.urkeddy@gmail.com");

finally
{
if (site != null)
site.Close();
}
Method 3:
If the root site collection is already created then above method through an exception like " ".
Then need to create new site collection under managed path i.e /sites/
SPSite site = null;
try
{
SPWebApplication webApplication = null;
webApplication = SPWebApplication.Lookup(new Uri("http://ukreddy:8998"));
site = webApplication.Sites.Add("/sites/siteCollname", "sitecollectiontitle", "sitecolection desc", 1033, "STS#0", "UKREDDYSYKAM\\administrator", "UKREDDYSYKAM\\administrator", "s.urkeddy@gmail.com");
