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