The Name Servers of a domain point out the DNS servers that handle its DNS records. The IP address of the site (A record), the mail server that takes care of the emails for a domain name (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), directing (CNAME record) etc are extracted from the DNS servers of the hosting company and for any Internet domain to be using them and to be directed to their hosting platform, it ought to have their name servers, or NS records. If you want to open a site, for example, and you insert the URL, the browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain and the request is then redirected to the DNS servers of the hosting 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 address has 2 name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the difference between the two is simply visual.
