Each domain that 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 required. As an illustration, the A record of a domain address is its IP address i.e. this record shows where the web site is situated; 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. The ability to create and modify certain records enables you to have different services with different companies if, for instance, your current host provides dependable web hosting, but has troubles with the e-mail service, or you simply prefer to get a particular service from a certain company. Although you will be able to set up and edit these records freely and with no restrictions as you own a given domain name, lots of companies charge extra to give you this option.
