A: you cannot... keeping them internal will reduce the risk of somebody obtaining that information

 

If you use apache, you can hide the version number in the headers and on server generated pages by putting

Code:

ServerTokens Prod
ServerSignature Off

Into one of the config files. You could probably hide it completely if you modified the source and compiled it.
No idea about IIS though :P

 

Is there any reason why this is a problem? Wasn't aware of this site up until now, but if you subscribe to the domain whois tools service, i believe they can tell you how many websites a person or company has registered (and more) so this information is readily available one way or the other.
