Use of ellipses

Are ellipses only to be used to indicate that part of a quote is missing?

I'm pretty they can be used to show hesitation in fiction or informal writing. But I'm also pretty sure there is some other name for them when used this way.

No, ellipses or '...' when I use them are like a pause or a continuance with dramatics added.

It's mostly used for pauses, but has to preserve the momentum of the previous thought.
