The NS (Name Server) records of a domain name point out which DNS servers are authoritative for its zone. Basically, the zone is the selection of all records for the domain address, so when you open a URL inside a web browser, your personal computer asks the DNS servers globally where the domain name is hosted and from which servers the DNS records for the domain ought to be retrieved. That way a web browser finds out what the A or AAAA record of the domain is so that the latter is mapped to an IP and the web site content is requested from the correct location, a mail relay server detects which server manages the e-mails for the domain (MX record) so that a message can be delivered to the right mailbox, etc. Any change of these sub-records is conducted through the company whose name servers are employed, permitting you to keep the web hosting and change only your email provider for example. Each and every domain name has at least two NS records - primary and secondary, which start with a prefix such as NS or DNS.
