Every domain name which is registered and hosted has a lot of DNS records - some of them are created automatically when you host a domain, others can be created manually if necessary. As an illustration, the A record of a domain name is its IP address i.e. this record shows where the web site is situated; the MX records show where the e-mails are stored, while using an SRV record you can use a domain name for unconventional purposes, like a Voice-over-IP service. Being able to set up and modify specific records enables you to have different services with different providers if, for instance, your current host provides dependable web hosting, but has troubles with the email service, or you simply prefer to get a particular service from a certain company. While you should 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.
