The NS, or Name Server records of a domain, point out which servers manage the Domain Name System (DNS) records for it. Setting the name servers of a particular host company for your domain address is the most convenient way to direct it to their system and all its sub-records will be managed on their end. This includes A (the IP address of the server/website), MX (mail server), TXT (free text), SRV (services), CNAME (forwarding), and so on, if you wish to change any one of these records, you are going to be able to do it using their system. Put simply, the NS records of a domain show the DNS servers that are authoritative for it, so when you try to open a web address, the DNS servers are contacted to retrieve the DNS records of the Internet domain you are attempting to access. This way the web site you'll see is going to be retrieved from the right location. The name servers usually have a prefix “ns” or “dns” and every single domain has at least two NS records. There is no functional difference between the two prefixes, so which one a host company will use depends completely on their preference.
