The Name Servers of a domain name show the DNS servers that manage its DNS records. The IP of the site (A record), the mail server that handles the emails for a domain address (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), directing (CNAME record) and so on are extracted from the DNS servers of the hosting provider and for any Internet domain to be using them and to be directed to their hosting platform, it ought to have their name servers, or NS records. If you want to open a site, for example, and you insert the URL, the browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain and the request is then sent to the DNS servers of the hosting company where the A record of the web site is obtained, so that you can see the content from the correct location. Commonly a domain address has 2 name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the distinction between the two is just visual.
