Absolutely! A Pi Zero W is totally capable of running Pi-hole for your network. It's a great budget option and uses very little power.

Here's the thing: if you plan on just using it for Pi-hole, the Zero W is perfect. If you ever want to add other services or mess around with the web interface, a Raspberry Pi 3B+ or 4 would be a smoother experience.

Let me know if you think you might want to do more down the line, otherwise the Zero W rocks for Pi-hole!

You can run PiHole on the the PiZeroW but I would recommend maybe a Pi3B with a hard wired connection.
