Every single domain name that is registered and hosted has a lot of DNS records - some of them are set up automatically when you host a domain, others can be set up by hand if necessary. 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 managed, while through an SRV record you can use a domain name for unconventional purposes, for instance a Voice-over-IP service. Being able to create and modify specific records permits you to have different services with different providers if, for illustration, your current host provides stable web hosting, but has issues with the e-mail service, or you simply prefer to get a certain service from a specific company. Though you can create and edit these records freely and without any limits as you own a given domain name, a lot of companies charge extra to give you this option.
