Every domain name that is registered and hosted has lots of DNS records - some of them are set up automatically when you host a domain, others can be set up by hand if needed. For example, the A record of a domain address 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 with an SRV record you can use a domain for unconventional purposes, including a Voice-over-IP service. The ability to set up and modify particular records enables you to have different services with different providers if, for example, your current host provides dependable web hosting, but has issues with the e-mail service, or you simply prefer to get a specific service from a certain company. Although you should be able to set up and edit these records freely and with no limits as you own a given domain name, lots of companies charge extra to give you this option.
