The Name Servers of a domain reveal the DNS servers that handle its DNS records. The IP address of the web site (A record), the mail server that handles the e-mails for a domain name (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), pointing (CNAME record) and so on are extracted from the DNS servers of the website hosting provider and for any domain address to be using them and to be forwarded to their hosting platform, it needs to have their name servers, or NS records. If you would like to open a website, for example, and you enter the URL, the 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 retrieved, allowing you to 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.
