Computing Dictionary
webmaster definition
World-Wide Web (Sometimes "webmistress") The alias or role of the person(s) responsible for the development and maintenance of one or more
web servers and/or some or all of the
web pages at a
website. The term does not imply any particular level of skill or mastery (see "
webmonkey").
The webmaster's
e-mail address often appears on the
home page of the site. Failing that, you could try sending e-mail to
postmaster (from which the term is probably derived) or
root at that
host, possibly after removing an initial "www.".
