The Name Servers of a domain name show the DNS servers that are responsible for its DNS records. The IP of the site (A record), the mail server that manages the e-mails for a domain (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), forwarding (CNAME record) etc are extracted from the DNS servers of the hosting company and for any domain address 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 Internet 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, so you can see the content from the right location. Commonly a domain has 2 name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the difference between the two is only visual.
