Yes, you can.
Be careful whether you should.

Be aware that there are a myriad of security issues related to securing a
webserver, deploying web content securely, whether the website developers
wrote their code permitting exploits and even whether the website technology
itself is secure.

So, unless you consider yourself expert in all areas I listed above it may
be better to look at alternatives.

But, yes and absolutely. You can deploy a public website or an intranet
website on or through SBS. You would start with the checklist above, then
look at posts by various persons including myself who have written
extensively recommendations on how to do this (searchable in this newsgroup,
the original SBS2K newsgroup, ISA2K newsgroup, various mailing lists and on
the Internet as a whole).
