The NS, or Name Server records of a domain name, indicate which servers handle the Domain Name System (DNS) records for it. Setting the name servers of a given host company for your domain name is the easiest way to direct it to their system and all its sub-records will be handled 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, so, in case you would like to change any of these records, you will be able to do it by using their system. Put simply, the NS records of a domain name show the DNS servers which are authoritative for it, so when you attempt to open a web address, the DNS servers are contacted to retrieve the DNS records of the domain you are attempting to access. That way the website you will see will be retrieved from the correct location. The name servers usually have a prefix “ns” or “dns” and each domain name has at least two NS records. There isn't any sensible difference between the two prefixes, so what type a hosting provider will use depends entirely on their preference.
