Every single registered domain has no less than 2 Name Server records which show where it's hosted i.e. by using these records you direct your Internet domain to the servers of a specific web hosting company. This way, you have got both your website and your e-mails handled by the exact same company. On the lower level of the Domain Name System (DNS), however, there are a number of other records, such as A and MX. The first one reveals which server handles the site for a given domain address and is always an IP address (123.123.123.123), while the latter reveals which server deals with the e-mails and is always an alphanumeric string (mx1.domain.com). For example, whenever you type a domain in your Internet browser, your request is forwarded through the global DNS system to the provider whose NS records the domain uses and from there you may be forwarded to the servers of a different provider provided you have set an IP address of the latter as an A record for your domain name. Having independent records for the site and the e-mails means you can have your site and your emails with two different providers if you wish.
