Every domain name that's registered and hosted has quite a lot of DNS records - some of them are created automatically when you host a domain, others can be set up manually 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 e-mails are handled, while through an SRV record you can use a domain address for unconventional purposes, such as a Voice-over-IP service. Being able to set up and modify specific records allows you to have different services with different providers if, for instance, your current host provides stable web hosting, but has issues with the email service, or you simply prefer to get a specific service from a particular company. Though you will be able to create and edit these records freely and without any restrictions as you own a given domain address, a lot of companies charge extra to give you this option.
