Reseller accounts let you make hosting accounts, of the space which is given you. Hence, your reselling the space given to you. You get special features to do this with the Accounts.
You should do what you want to do, make your hosting company, or just use it to host your friends or whatever.
You dont have to have a domain, yet it would seem more professional.
It is not always cheaper, in fact, they're usually more expensive. It depends on the features. For example:
A Reseller account with:
1gig space.
10gig b/w.
Will be cheaper than a Shared Hosting with:
20gig space
250gig space
And Vice Versa if the specs are swapped around.
This is just a rough guide, hope this clears it up!

Yes!Thanks for your reply.
Reseller hosting is a form of web hosting wherein the account owner may split up their alloted hard drive space and bandwidth and resell web hosting. Typically, resellers are web consultants including web designers, web developers, or system integration company who resell the web hosting as a add-on service to complement their other range of services. Commonly, resellers can receive up to 50 percent discount on the price of a reseller hosting account from the web hosting provider.
Resellers are also allowed to decide their own pricing structure and even establish their own branding. In other words, a reseller can set up its web hosting company on the Internet and start selling web hosting plans under its own brand name.
Reseller hosting generally requires little knowledge of web hosting services in order to get started. Reseller hosts are generally not responsible for maintaining web server services or other maintenance related tasks. To the reseller's customers, the reseller is the "web hosting provider." In cases when technical problems such as server down and access problem arise, this job is held by the owner of the dedicated server in which the reseller host is hosted.
