Yes you can do that. Where I work the policy is one main service per
server for security and performance reasons. If this box is for home
use/education and you don't have the space or resources for 5 or 6
boxes I would say, go for it. If you are running a business where your
network is mission critical I would think about spreading around the
services more.
