The NS (Name Server) records of a domain name reveal which DNS servers are authoritative for its zone. Simply, the zone is the group of all records for the domain name, so when you open a URL within an Internet browser, your laptop or computer asks the DNS servers worldwide where the domain name is hosted and from which servers the DNS records for the domain ought to be retrieved. In this 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 IP address and the website content is required from the correct location, a mail relay server discovers which server takes care of the emails for the domain address (MX record) to ensure that a message can be delivered to the right mailbox, and so on. 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 switch only your email provider for instance. Each domain address has at least 2 NS records - primary and secondary, that start with a prefix like NS or DNS.
