The NS (Name Server) records of a domain name point out which DNS servers are authoritative for its zone. Basically, the zone is the group of all records for the domain, so when you open a URL within a web browser, your personal computer asks the DNS servers worldwide where the domain address is hosted and from which servers the DNS records for the domain address ought to be retrieved. That way a 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 proper location, a mail relay server finds out which server handles the e-mails for the domain (MX record) so a message can be delivered to the right mailbox, and so forth. Any change of these sub-records is done using the company whose name servers are used, so you can keep the web hosting and change only your email provider for instance. Every domain name has at least 2 NS records - primary and secondary, which start with a prefix like NS or DNS.
