The NS (Name Server) records of a domain name reveal which DNS servers are authoritative for its zone. Essentially, the zone is the collection of all records for the domain name, so when you open a URL inside a browser, your personal computer asks the DNS servers globally where the domain address is hosted and from which servers the DNS records for the domain name ought to be retrieved. With this a web browser finds out what the A or AAAA record of the domain is so that the latter is mapped to an IP address and the website content is required from the proper location, a mail relay server finds out which server manages the emails for the domain name (MX record) so that a message can be delivered to the right mailbox, etc. Any change of these sub-records is conducted with the help of the company whose name servers are employed, permitting you to keep the website hosting and change only your email provider for example. Each and every domain has no less than 2 NS records - primary and secondary, which start with a prefix such as NS or DNS.
