    I am pretty sure that you can partition your existing hard drive with Disk Utility and install OS X Server although you might want to ask a Mac genuis if that is actually recommended.

    The other way and more normal way to do it is to get a slightly older Mac and set that up as your server as servers are normally run as a stand alone machine.

    You are welcome to try doing it as a partition but just don't ***** about it if and when you have problems with it.
