DNS stands for Domain Name System and refers to how computers find
other computers on the Internet. Unique IP addresses are associated
with each computer on the Internet. These IP addresses are like house
numbers on a street. They make it possible for other computers to find
your computer.
To make finding computers easier for humans, DNS allows you to create an easy to remember name for your computer and associate it with your computer's IP Address. By adding an Alias record to a DNS server for your domain and telling it that mail.yourname.com is the computer with an IP Address of 192.168.1.22, you allow anyone on the Internet to find your computer by using the name mail.yourname.com.
You can add DNS Management to your domains during checkout.
