When you register a domain name, the domain registrar company usually provides you with an account for managing this domain name. You can use this account in order to change the DNS records, the Whois information, etc. If you do not have such an account, you must contact your domain registrar company with a request for a change of the name servers.

Advanced users may require individual records updated, added or changed for their domain name. This may be the case for instance if you have your own mail server and wish to have mail exchange records added. We will make administrative changes to your DNS record free of charge so long as these changes do not become more frequent than 10 change requests per year. If you require more frequent changes we reserve the right to charge an additional administration fee.

Every computer on the Internet has a unique IP (Internet protocol) address which consists of a string of numbers. Since the IP addresses can be difficult to remember, the DNS allows a familiar string of letters (the "domain name") to be used instead of the IP address. So instead of typing the IP address' arcane string of numbers you can type, for example, "www.espn.com.
