Servers are better off without a separate partition for /home. Unlike desktop installs which contain pretty much all of the user data under /home in a server install there isn't very much "user" data at all and most of the actual data is contained under /var somewhere.
That said, if you plan on having multiple users who will store some data in their individual /home directories then /home might be in order for a server, it all depends on your individual needs, it's just that on a server I don't automatically create a massive /home like I would on a desktop.
