◊ WEBMASTER
webmaster
(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 {web site}. 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.".
