Each domain which is registered and hosted has a great deal of DNS records - some of them are set up automatically when you host a domain, others can be created manually if required. As an illustration, the A record of a domain name is its IP address i.e. this record shows where the website is situated; the MX records reveal where the e-mails are stored, while through an SRV record you can use a domain name for unconventional purposes, for instance a Voice-over-IP service. The ability to create and modify particular records enables you to have different services with different providers if, for example, your present host provides stable web hosting, but has problems with the email service, or you simply prefer to get a specific service from a particular company. Although you must be able to create and modify these records freely and without any limits as you own a given domain, many companies charge extra to give you this option.
