Exactly :), associate all services common to a server type with a
hostgroup and then just add hosts to the hostgroup, scales very well
.. if the services in the hostgroup all require custom attributes that
are similar in their command definitions you can even refactor them
and the hostgroup into a host template and then just add the template
to the 'use' statement of any hosts in the hostgroup .. you could also
put notes_url or action_url attributes or other CGI config items in
the host template as well

define host {
     name windows-server
     __custom_attribute_1 value
     __custom_attribute_2 value
   notes_url http://notes.example.com/query.pl?host=$HOSTNAME$
   hostgroup windows-servers
    ....
     register 0
}

define host {
    use generic-host, windows-server
    ...
}
