Whenever you add a domain name as hosted in some account, you normally set a pair of Name Servers to direct it to that particular company. On their end, three records are created automatically right after the domain address is added - one A record and two MX records. The first one is a numeric address, or IP address, which “tells” the domain name where its site is, while the other two are alphanumeric and they indicate the server that handles the emails for that particular domain address. The site and the email hosting are typically thought to be one thing, while they are actually two different services. Having independent records for them will permit you to have them with different companies if you want. For instance, some new company could have fantastic uptime for your site, but you may not want to switch your emails from your current host and by using an A record to point the Internet domain to the first and MX records to have the emails with the second, you can get the best of both companies. These records are checked when you wish to open a site or send an email - in any case, the provider whose name servers are used for the Internet domain will be contacted to retrieve the A and MX records and if you have set records different from their own, the right web/mail server will then be contacted and you will see the needed website or your email will be delivered.
