Every single domain name that's registered and hosted has quite a lot of DNS records - some of them are created automatically when you host a domain, others can be set up manually if needed. As an illustration, the A record of a domain is its IP address i.e. this record shows where the site is situated; the MX records reveal where the emails are stored, while using an SRV record you can use a domain for unconventional purposes, for instance a Voice-over-IP service. The ability to set up and modify specific records permits you to have different services with different companies if, for example, your current host provides stable web hosting, but has troubles with the email service, or you simply prefer to get a specific service from a certain company. Even though you should be able to set up and edit these records freely and with no restrictions as you own a given domain name, some companies charge extra to give you this option.
