If you get a web hosting server with the intention to start your individual web hosting company and to resell plans to various other people, you may also want to sell domain names, so that you can give your clients the opportunity to get everything they need for their new site from just a single place. To be a licensed registrar involves thousands of dollars plus a lot of documentation, so the most effective solution would be to register for a domain name reseller account with an existing registrar company. Your reseller website will be connected to that account via the registrar's API. Using this kind of account has many benefits - all your customers will be able to acquire and to manage new domains effortlessly; the cost of a new registration is lower when compared to what you would need to pay as an end customer; also you're able to start reselling immediately. The registrar businesses which provide domain reseller accounts in most cases want some money as a deposit.
