The NS (Name Server) records of a domain name reveal which DNS servers are authoritative for its zone. Basically, the zone is the range of all records for the domain address, so when you open a URL within an Internet browser, your PC asks the DNS servers globally where the domain name is hosted and from which servers the DNS records for the domain name ought to be retrieved. In this way a browser finds out what the A or AAAA record of the domain name is so that the latter is mapped to an Internet protocol address and the web site content is requested from the right location, a mail relay server detects which server handles the emails for the domain name (MX record) so that a message can be sent to the needed mailbox, and so forth. Any modification of these sub-records is performed through the company whose name servers are used, so you're able to keep the website hosting and switch only your email provider for instance. Each and every domain name has at least 2 NS records - primary and secondary, that start with a prefix like NS or DNS.
