  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.".
