An NS (Name Server) record is a [[dns|DNS]] record that delegates a DNS zone to a specific authoritative [[nameserver]]. NS records tell the internet which servers are responsible for answering DNS queries for a particular domain.
Example
NS records for example.com pointing to ns1.provider.com and ns2.provider.com delegate DNS authority to that hosting provider.
