Every registered domain has no less than 2 Name Server records which show where it is hosted i.e. by using these records you point your domain name to the servers of a specific website hosting provider. That way, you have got both your website and your e-mails managed by the very same company. On the lower level of the Domain Name System (DNS), nevertheless, there are a number of other records, such as A and MX. The former shows which server deals with the site for a given domain address and is always an IP address (123.123.123.123), while the latter indicates which server deals with the emails and is always an alphanumeric string (mx1.domain.com). As an illustration, when you enter a domain in your browser, your request is directed through the global DNS system to the company whose NS records the domain uses and from there you may be directed to the servers of a different company provided you have set an IP address of the latter as an A record for your domain address. Having independent records for the site and the emails suggests that you can have your site and your e-mails with two different companies if you'd like.
