Any active domain which is added in a hosting account includes a number of records which allow it to work properly. In the general case, the name servers (NS records) show where the domain name is hosted and they're set on the side of the registrar company, but on the lower level there are specific records created through the hosting company like A (IP address of the website/server), MX (email server), SRV (using a domain address for non-website purposes on a specific port number like Voice-over-IP), etc. By having access to these records and by having the ability to edit them, you may have your site with company A and your e-mail messages with company B, for instance. This offers you more overall flexibility because you can choose the best provider for every one of these services and you do not have to stick with only one company. After you choose a hosting company, you have to make certain that you can access all DNS records freely as some providers have an additional fee for this feature.
