The NS (Name Server) records of a domain name point out which DNS servers are authoritative for its zone. Basically, the zone is the selection of all records for the domain name, so when you open a URL within a browser, your computer asks the DNS servers around the globe where the domain name is hosted and from which servers the DNS records for the domain address ought to be retrieved. That 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 Internet protocol address and the website content is required from the right location, a mail relay server finds out which server takes care of the emails for the domain address (MX record) so a message can be delivered to the correct mailbox, and so on. Any modification of these sub-records is conducted through the company whose name servers are employed, permitting you to keep the web hosting and switch only your email provider for instance. Each and every domain has a minimum of two NS records - primary and secondary, which start with a prefix like NS or DNS.
