Also, so I should get a .com domain with the main site serving as the hosting pages, with a www subdomain serving as my personal site, with a .top domain for my clients, did I understand and plan this correctly? Or should I get a second .com domain for my personal website instead of the www. 

Get the first domain for your personal site, the second one entirely for MOFH.

then do you have any suggestions on where to get .com domains yearly for less then $9.62? 

Probably not if you’re just buying the domain. The registry charges registrars to register the domain, so the registrars have to charge you more to make a profit.

May I ask how do clients abuse the domain, and are there any methods for me to stop it

Upload illegal content - use it to host scams and spam, etc. The monitoring system catches a lot of it, but sometimes it gets flagged before the system takes it down. I mean if you want to regularly check every domain you can ….

Yes to the .top. The “www” subdomain and the base domain should always show the same content. For SEO purposes, you should use one or the other, and redirect the other one. For example, if you want to use “example.tld”, you should redirect “www.example.tld” to “example.tld” (Or vise versa). 
 

If you want a homepage and a personal site on the same domain, you can do “example.tld” OR “www.example.tld” for your hosting company homepage, and something like “me.example.tld” or “example.tld/me” for your personal site.

You can delegate the www subdomain via CNAME records, even if its on mofh. Again tho, I wouldn't reccomend that.

1) Based upon what you said, I think the domain registration I found offer the cheapest one, out of the everything else I found. 

2) Is it possible to prevent these illegal contents to appear in the sites? Or should I just suspend their acc whenever such thing was found?

3) Ok thanks for your feedback on the .top. So I should make both www and the base domain (.com) to show the hosting homepage, and a subdomain like me.example.com got my personal website. Did I understand correctly?

If you dont want to pay for an additional domain, this is the best solution.
