Every single registered domain name has no less than 2 Name Server records that show where it's hosted i.e. by using these records you direct your domain to the servers of a certain web hosting company. This way, you have both your website and your emails handled by the very same service provider. On the lower level of the Domain Name System (DNS), on the other hand, there are a number of other records, like A and MX. The former shows which server handles the site for a given Internet domain and is always an IP address (123.123.123.123), while the latter reveals which server manages the e-mails and is always an alphanumeric string (mx1.domain.com). For example, any time you type a domain address in your Internet browser, your request is sent through the global DNS system to the provider whose NS records the domain address uses and from there you could be forwarded to the servers of a different service provider if you have set an IP address of the latter as an A record for your domain. Having different records for the website and the emails suggests that you can have your site and your e-mails with two different companies if you'd like.
