The NS (Name Server) records of a domain point out which DNS servers are authoritative for its zone. In simple terms, the zone is the collection of all records for the domain, so when you open a URL inside a web browser, your personal computer asks the DNS servers worldwide where the domain is hosted and from which servers the DNS records for the domain ought to be retrieved. With this a browser finds out what the A or AAAA record of the domain address is so that the latter is mapped to an Internet protocol address and the website content is requested from the right location, a mail relay server detects which server takes care of the e-mails for the domain name (MX record) to ensure that a message can be forwarded to the correct mailbox, and so forth. Any change of these sub-records is conducted using the company whose name servers are used, enabling you to keep the web hosting and switch only your email provider for example. Each domain name has at least two NS records - primary and secondary, that start with a prefix such as NS or DNS.
