The Name Servers of a domain name point out the DNS servers that are responsible for its DNS records. The IP 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), directing (CNAME record) and so on are obtained from the DNS servers of the website hosting company and for any Internet domain to be using them and to be forwarded to their hosting platform, it should have their name servers, or NS records. If you want to open a site, for instance, and you type in the URL, the Internet 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 hosting company where the A record of the website is retrieved, so that you can see the content from the proper location. Usually a domain address has two name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the contrast between the two is just visual.
