For incarnating the Web as the dominant application style of the Internet, the Web itself is becoming an unlimited platform for almost all business in the Internet. Such a phenomenon is called Web as the platform, which brings opportunities and challenges to information technology. In this position paper, the management issue of the Web, one of the key technical challenges of the Web as the platform, is explored. At first, the management requirements induced by the features of the Web are summarized. Then, the Management as a Service is proposed as a solution to the Web management issue.
