Can I use the same domain for hosting a fediverse instance and also for custom domain for email? (lemmy.ml)

I'm looking to add a custom domain to my email to start building a more permanent identity on the internet (I have been shifting providers since I started degoogling).

I also want to either host a WordPress site or a fediverse instance (haven't decided) like Hubzilla for things like my writings and a general place to find my stuff online and maybe even host a few friends' pages.

Can I buy one domain and use it for both?

Yeah I am not going to host my own email. I have a provider who I'm going to ask to attach the custom domain. Only the WordPress/Hubzilla instance I might host on my own.
