The NS (Name Server) records of a domain name reveal which DNS servers are authoritative for its zone. Essentially, the zone is the selection of all records for the domain address, so when you open a URL within a browser, your personal computer asks the DNS servers globally where the domain is hosted and from which servers the DNS records for the domain name must be retrieved. In this way a web browser finds out what the A or AAAA record of the domain name is so that the latter is mapped to an IP and the web site content is required from the right location, a mail relay server discovers which server takes care of the e-mails for the domain name (MX record) to ensure a message can be sent to the needed mailbox, and so forth. Any change of these sub-records is done using the company whose name servers are used, permitting you to keep the website hosting and change only your email provider for instance. Every single domain has no less than two NS records - primary and secondary, which start with a prefix like NS or DNS.
