The Name Servers of a domain name point out the DNS servers that handle its DNS records. The IP of the web site (A record), the mail server that manages the emails for a domain (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), forwarding (CNAME record) etc are taken from the DNS servers of the web hosting company 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 would like to open a site, for example, and you input the URL, the Internet browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain and the request is then forwarded to the DNS servers of the webhosting provider where the A record of the website is obtained, so that you can look at the content from the right location. Normally a domain name has a couple of name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the difference between the two is only visual.
