Every single domain which is registered and hosted has a lot of DNS records - some of them are set up automatically when you host a domain, others can be set up by hand if required. For instance, the A record of a domain name is its IP address i.e. this record reveals where the web site is situated; the MX records reveal where the emails are stored, while with an SRV record you can use a domain for unconventional purposes, including a Voice-over-IP service. To be able to set up and modify specific records permits you to have different services with different providers if, for instance, your present host provides stable web hosting, but has troubles with the e-mail service, or you simply prefer to get a particular service from a particular company. Although you can 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.
