The Name Servers of a domain reveal the DNS servers that deal with its DNS records. The Internet protocol address of the website (A record), the mail server that takes care of the emails for a domain (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), directing (CNAME record) and so on are obtained from the DNS servers of the web hosting provider and for any domain to be using them and to be pointed to their hosting platform, it ought to have their name servers, or NS records. If you wish to open a website, for example, and you enter the URL, the browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain address and the request is then sent to the DNS servers of the hosting company where the A record of the website is obtained, allowing you to see the content from the right location. Commonly a domain address has a couple of name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the distinction between the two is only visual.
