You can host whatever it can handle, sure. Your limits are the resources available as with any machine.

Sometimes it's a power consumption issue.
In my case I could use a pi in terms of CPU and ram but I need a lot of SATA. After putting in a perfect energy saving MB and a picoPSU I am idling at 16 watts. But id preferred a pi regarding power.
But yeah sff PCs are cheaper and much more powerful.
