The NS (Name Server) records of a domain name 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 browser, your PC asks the DNS servers world-wide where the domain name 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 required from the right location, a mail relay server discovers which server handles the emails for the domain name (MX record) to ensure a message can be sent to the right mailbox, and so forth. Any modification of these sub-records is done with the help of the company whose name servers are employed, enabling you to keep the web 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.
