The NS, or Name Server records of a domain, reveal which servers deal with the Domain Name System (DNS) records for it. Setting the name servers of a specific hosting provider for your domain address is the most convenient way to forward 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), and so forth, so if you would like to edit any one of these records, you're going to be able to do it by using their system. Put simply, the NS records of a domain address point out 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 name you are trying to access. In this way the website you will see will be retrieved from the correct location. The name servers typically have a prefix “ns” or “dns” and each and every domain has at least 2 NS records. There is absolutely no functional difference between the two prefixes, so what kind a hosting provider is going to use depends solely on their preference.
