Every registered domain has at least two Name Server records which show where it's hosted i.e. by using these records you point your Internet domain to the servers of a certain web hosting company. In this way, you've got both your website and your e-mails managed by the exact same company. On the lower level of the Domain Name System (DNS), nevertheless, there are a number of other records, for instance A and MX. The former reveals which server manages the website for a given domain and is always an IP address (123.123.123.123), while the second one shows which server deals with the emails and is always an alphanumeric string (mx1.domain.com). For instance, whenever you enter a domain in your web browser, your request is sent through the global DNS system to the company whose NS records the domain uses and from there you will be forwarded to the servers of another company provided you have set an IP address of the latter as an A record for your domain. Having independent records for the site and the emails suggests that you may have your site and your e-mails with 2 different providers if you'd like.
