The Name Servers of a domain name reveal the DNS servers that deal with its DNS records. The Internet protocol address of the website (A record), the mail server that handles the emails for a domain address (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), pointing (CNAME record) and so forth are extracted from the DNS servers of the website hosting provider and for any domain address to be using them and to be pointed to their hosting platform, it ought to have their name servers, or NS records. If you want to open an Internet site, for example, and you enter the URL, the web browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain address and the request is then forwarded to the DNS servers of the hosting provider where the A record of the site is obtained, enabling you to see the content from the right location. Usually a domain address has 2 name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the difference between the two is just visual.
