Every single domain name that is registered and hosted has a great deal of DNS records - some of them are created automatically when you host a domain, others can be created manually if required. As an illustration, the A record of a domain is its IP address i.e. this record shows where the web site is located; the MX records show where the emails are handled, while through an SRV record you can use a domain for unconventional purposes, such as a Voice-over-IP service. Being able to set up and modify certain records permits you to have different services with different providers if, for example, your current host provides stable web hosting, but has problems with the e-mail service, or you simply prefer to get a certain service from a particular company. Although you should be able to set up and modify these records freely and with no limitations as you own a given domain name, many companies charge extra to give you this option.
