The NS (Name Server) records of a domain name reveal which DNS servers are authoritative for its zone. Simply, the zone is the selection of all records for the domain, so when you open a URL in a browser, your laptop or computer asks the DNS servers globally where the domain address 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 name is so that the latter is mapped to an IP address and the site content is requested from the right location, a mail relay server finds out which server deals with the e-mails for the domain address (MX record) so a message can be delivered to the correct mailbox, etc. Any change of these sub-records is done using the company whose name servers are employed, so you're able to keep the web hosting and change only your email provider for instance. Each domain address has no less than two NS records - primary and secondary, that start with a prefix such as NS or DNS.
