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
particular level of skill or mastery (see "
webmonkey").
The webmaster's
e-mail address often appears on the
homepage 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.".
