The Name Servers of a domain name point out the DNS servers that handle its DNS records. The Internet protocol address of the website (A record), the mail server that takes care of the emails for a domain address (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), pointing (CNAME record) and so forth are obtained from the DNS servers of the web hosting provider and for any domain address to be using them and to be pointed to their hosting platform, it should have their name servers, or NS records. If you would like to open a website, for example, and you type the URL, the Internet 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 hosting provider where the A record of the web site is retrieved, allowing you to look at the content from the proper location. Commonly a domain name has 2 name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the distinction between the two is just visual.
