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 specific host company for your domain address is the most convenient way to direct it to their system and all its sub-records will be taken care of on their end. This includes A (the IP address of the server/website), MX (mail server), TXT (free text), SRV (services), CNAME (forwarding), etc, so, in case you need to edit some of these records, you're going to be able to do it by 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 want to reach. This way the website that you will see is going to be retrieved from the right location. The name servers usually have a prefix “ns” or “dns” and each and every domain address has at least two NS records. There is no practical difference between the two prefixes, so what kind a host company will use depends solely on their preference.
