Yes, you can. WordPress is open source and most hosts have one click installs available in the cpanel to get you started.
And just to add… There’s no payment or forms. It’s all free and open. But remember that as WordPress is realsed under the GPL license, everything that you do with it also has to be released under the GPL license.
what is this GPL license? It has any restrictions? Basically i’m going to make websites using this platform and then sell them. As a company, is there any king of license I should get?

A couple of restrictions in practice that I know of:
- You cannot relicense GPL;
- Without drastic modifications you cannot claim GPL software as your own.
