I have a following requirement

Requirement : "Create Site collection programatically on a web application which is hosted on a remote server and then create Sub site in it"

I am able to successfully create Site collection using Admin.asmx web service. But, for Sub sit when i use following code - it throws an exception "Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED))"

Uri site = new Uri("http://SharePoint2010Site/"); 
string webServicePath = "_vti_bin/Sites.asmx";
string webServiceUrl = Path.Combine(site.AbsoluteUri, webServicePath);

Sites webService = new Sites();
webService.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultNetworkCredentials;
webService.Url = webServiceUrl;

//the following line creates the sub site
string result = webService.CreateWeb("Sub Site", "Sub Site", "Sub Site Desc", "STS#0", 
    1033, true, 1033, true, 1033, true, true, true, true, true, true, true);

What can be the reason for Access denied exception?

Are you sure you made yourself the owner of the site collection.

What parameters did you pass to the site collection create?

As you mentioned you want to access remote site, try passing UserName, Password and Domain name as shown below.

webService.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("UserName Here", "Password Here", "Domain Name Here");
