People think that owning a website makes you a webmaster right there. Well technically that is correct because you are the master of that website. But generally it is wrong because someone that just started out 10 minutes ago cannot be master of the website because he has a lot more things to master.
First, if you designed your website then you can call yourself a web designer and a master of designing websites so that’s one thing. Next, if you coded your own website then you can call yourself a master at that as well. But if you use one of those hosts that make the website and run it for you then you can’t really call yourself the “master” now can you? You didn’t make the website, you just simply set up an account which doesn’t take much skills these days.
So I recommend you take one step of webmastering at a time to make sure you know all you need to know about the particular environment and subject and you should be fine.
