Each domain 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 set up by hand if required. As an illustration, the A record of a domain is its IP address i.e. this record shows where the site is located; 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. To be able to create and modify specific records permits you to have different services with different companies if, for example, your current host provides good web hosting, but has problems with the e-mail service, or you simply prefer to get a certain service from a particular company. While you will be able to create and edit these records freely and without any limits as you own a given domain, a lot of companies charge extra to give you this option.
