The Name Servers of a domain show the DNS servers that are responsible for its DNS records. The IP address of the website (A record), the mail server that manages the emails for a domain address (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), forwarding (CNAME record) and so on are extracted from the DNS servers of the web hosting provider and for any Internet domain to be using them and to be forwarded to their hosting platform, it ought to have their name servers, or NS records. If you want to open a site, for instance, and you insert the URL, the browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain name and the request is then forwarded to the DNS servers of the webhosting provider where the A record of the website is obtained, allowing you to look at the content from the correct location. Normally a domain has two name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the distinction between the two is simply visual.
