The Name Servers of a domain show the DNS servers that deal with its DNS records. The IP address of the website (A record), the mail server that takes care of the e-mails for a domain address (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), pointing (CNAME record) and so on are extracted from the DNS servers of the hosting company and for any domain name to be using them and to be pointed to their hosting platform, it needs to have their name servers, or NS records. If you would like to open a website, for example, and you input the URL, the web browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain name and the request is then pointed to the DNS servers of the webhosting provider where the A record of the site is retrieved, allowing you to view the content from the correct location. Commonly a domain address has two name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the contrast between the two is only visual.
