Any active domain that's added in a hosting account features a variety of records that permit it to work properly. In the general case, the name servers (NS records) show the location 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 set through the hosting company such as A (IP address of the website/server), MX (email server), SRV (using an Internet domain for non-website purposes on a specific port number like Voice-over-IP), and so on. Having access to these records and by being able to edit them, you can have your site with company A and your emails with company B, for illustration. This offers you more independence since you can choose the best provider for every single one of these services and you don't have to stick with a single company. As soon as you select a hosting company, you have to make certain that you can access all DNS records freely as some providers have an extra fee for this function.
