The NS (Name Server) records of a domain reveal which DNS servers are authoritative for its zone. In simple terms, the zone is the selection of all records for the domain, so when you open a URL inside an Internet browser, your PC asks the DNS servers world-wide where the domain is hosted and from which servers the DNS records for the domain address ought to be retrieved. That 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 site content is required from the proper location, a mail relay server finds out which server manages the e-mails for the domain (MX record) to ensure a message can be sent to the appropriate mailbox, and so forth. Any change of these sub-records is conducted with the help of the company whose name servers are used, allowing you to keep the website hosting and change only your email provider for example. Every Internet domain has no less than two NS records - primary and secondary, which start with a prefix like NS or DNS.
