The NS (Name Server) records of a domain name point out which DNS servers are authoritative for its zone. Essentially, the zone is the selection of all records for the domain, so when you open a URL in an Internet browser, your personal computer 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. In this way 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 site content is required from the right location, a mail relay server discovers which server takes care of the e-mails for the domain name (MX record) so that a message can be delivered to the correct mailbox, etc. Any change of these sub-records is conducted through the company whose name servers are employed, permitting you to keep the website hosting and change only your email provider for example. Each Internet domain has no less than two NS records - primary and secondary, which start with a prefix like NS or DNS.
