The NS, or Name Server records of a domain name, show which servers manage the Domain Name System (DNS) records for it. Setting the name servers of a particular hosting provider for your domain name is the easiest way to forward it to their system and all its sub-records are going to 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), etcetera, so, in case you want to edit any of these records, you'll be able to do it via their system. Put simply, the NS records of a domain name reveal the DNS servers that are authoritative for it, so when you attempt to open a web address, the DNS servers are contacted to obtain the DNS records of the domain you are attempting to reach. That way the website that you're going to see is going to be retrieved from the right location. The name servers typically have a prefix “ns” or “dns” and each and every domain name has at least two NS records. There is absolutely no functional difference between the two prefixes, so what type a host company is going to use depends only on their preference.
