Domain Name and Nameservers

no, you register "mydomain.com" and then you can configure hosts like "www.mydomain.com" with it.

U dont
Your registar, the person you registered the domain with will ask you the nameservers where the DNS records are hosted... then after 2-3 days everyone should be able to get your site... You dont notify root servers.

No having a nameserver doesnt mean you can start giving out domains or getting them for free.

perhaps you should read this...
http://www.icann.org/registrars/accredited-list.html

To register domains with root servers you need to be an ICANN-Accredited Registrar. or register them through one.

If im wrong SilentRage can explain it, he knows more about DNS than myself

Edit: I also found this for you, if this is something u can afford, your my new best friend

I tend to let the first person who replies to a topic handle that person's problems (unless he's doing a bad job of it). But here's the official financial requirements:

Proof of 70k haha thats quite a bit over the thought 10k.

Perhaps some kind of affiliate progam with one of the registars would be a better solution, you could still get something when people you refer register a domain but no cost on your behalf.

Hope its clear now, I thought about it myself until I learned exactly how it all works.
