Each and every domain that's registered and hosted has lots of DNS records - some of them are set up automatically when you host a domain, others can be created by hand if necessary. As an example, the A record of a domain name is its IP address i.e. this record shows where the web site is located; the MX records show where the emails are handled, while through an SRV record you can use a domain name for unconventional purposes, like a Voice-over-IP service. To be able to create and modify particular records allows you to have different services with different companies if, for example, your present host provides good web hosting, but has difficulties with the e-mail service, or you simply prefer to get a specific service from a certain company. Even though you will be able to set up and edit these records freely and without any limits as you own a given domain name, some companies charge extra to give you this option.
