Every domain name that's registered and hosted has quite 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 needed. For example, the A record of a domain name is its IP address i.e. this record shows where the web site is situated; the MX records show where the e-mails are stored, while through an SRV record you can use a domain address for unconventional purposes, including a Voice-over-IP service. Being able to create and modify certain records permits you to have different services with different companies if, for example, your present host provides dependable web hosting, but has problems with the email service, or you simply prefer to get a particular service from a specific company. While you should be able to set up and edit these records freely and with no restrictions as you own a given domain name, lots of companies charge extra to give you this option.
