Each domain that's registered and hosted has a lot of DNS records - some of them are set up automatically when you host a domain, others can be created by hand if needed. As an illustration, the A record of a domain is its IP address i.e. this record reveals where the web site is situated; the MX records show where the emails are handled, while through an SRV record you can use a domain address for unconventional purposes, such as a Voice-over-IP service. The ability to create and modify specific records enables you to have different services with different companies if, for instance, your current host provides good web hosting, but has difficulties with the e-mail service, or you simply prefer to get a particular service from a particular company. While you must be able to create and modify these records freely and with no restrictions as you own a given domain address, many companies charge extra to give you this option.
