Okay so, How can I become a "Domain registra" I googled a bit and it looked cheaper being a reseller off Godaddy or another domain company. What domain company is cheaper to be a reseller off?
Thanks.
Its not always about price.
For example, Godaddys costs are $99 (or $199) and domains are cheap, the disadvantage is that you cannot sell from your own site/system, they force you to use their limited script hosted by them - Therefore, they have total control, and you have minimal control, when you decide to leave or not renew your yearly reseller account, the domains get transfered over to GoDaddy, so kiss goodbye to your clients.
You then have DirectI, who for the majority, use their own script, but also allow others to use their script via an API, WHMCS supports a DirectI reseller account, but not to a very good standard, all your clients will be able to do, is change contact information & change nameservers. Again, you are limited to what control you have over the domains, as you are reselling for a reseller. The price varies, but trust is high, as the reseller you resell for can pull your account, or up their prices at any moment.
You then have eNom. The most advanced of the 3 I have stated - They have no free custom control panel, but their API is very advanced, they also require high setup costs (Think in the range of $500-$1000), but you have TOTAL control over the domains. The disadvantage of eNom, is the fact that there is not free control panel for managing your domains or letting your clients order domains, therefore, you need to do it all manually, or have a control panel coded for you.

All in all, unless you have the funds and time to develop a control panel for eNom, I would not bother becoming a domain name reseller. The stock price is low, but then again, so is the sale price, you would only be making $2 at most per year on a domain, and as your new, people wont trust you.
There is alot of fraud in the domain market, and if your not prepared for it (Which from your questions, your not, you need more experiance) you will get f00ked over and lose alot of money, and be sitting there with lots of domains you cant use.
My advise - before you even go into webhosting, get a job, even for a free host (for free) and expand your know how. If you jump in at the deep end like you are planning, you will drown.
