Define Webmaster was-----------Unscrupulous Webmasters

I am wondering.  Would it not be more proper to use "web host" instead of
"web master".  I am curious as to services offered by these
individuals/companies.  Are they one man shops with agreements at a
particular host?  Are they employees of a hosting company?  Do they host the
servers in their place of business?

Different people have a different definition of webmaster.  What is the
concenus here?
