Is there any chance to host multiple services (like a webserver, XMPP server, ssh server) behind one .onion address? Or do I have to create a single hidden service for each service/server?

You can have multiple services on the same .onion address. You can forward each port to a different service.
For example:
HiddenServiceDir /path/to/hs/dir/
HiddenServicePort 80 127.0.0.1:80
HiddenServicePort 8000 127.0.0.1:8000
HiddenServicePort 81 192.168.0.102:80
This (in your torrc) would expose 3 services on 1 .onion address. The first 2 live on the same host as the Tor relay. The 3rd lives on another host in the local network.

- Thanks for the answer! Are there any security issues by doing this? e.g. timing or load attacks? I will try that out.dodo– dodo2014-10-29 17:01:12 +00:00Commented Oct 29, 2014 at 17:01

- Well, one "issue" is that it becomes obvious for third parties that all these services are hosted on the same machine.hidden_elephant– hidden_elephant2021-09-08 03:09:00 +00:00Commented Sep 8, 2021 at 3:09
