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.". (1999-04-01)
