Every domain 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 needed. As an illustration, the A record of a domain name is its IP address i.e. this record shows where the web site is located; the MX records reveal where the emails are stored, while using an SRV record you can use a domain name for unconventional purposes, including a Voice-over-IP service. Being able to set up and modify particular records allows you to have different services with different companies if, for example, your present host provides dependable web hosting, but has issues with the e-mail service, or you simply prefer to get a certain service from a specific company. Even though you should be able to set up and modify these records freely and without any limitations as you own a given domain, some companies charge extra to give you this option.
