Any active domain name that's added in a hosting account features a number of records that permit it to work properly. In the common case, the name servers (NS records) show where the Internet domain is hosted and they are set on the side of the registrar company, but on the lower level there are certain records set through the hosting company like A (IP address of the website/server), MX (e mail server), SRV (employing an Internet domain for non-website purposes on a particular port number like Voice-over-IP), etc. Having access to these records and by being able to modify them, you can have your site with company A and your e-mail messages with company B, for example. This gives you more independence because you can pick the best provider for every one of these services and you don't need to stick to a single company. When you choose a hosting company, you have to make certain that you have access to all DNS records freely because some providers have an extra fee for this feature.
