The Name Servers of a domain name point out the DNS servers that manage its DNS records. The IP of the website (A record), the mail server that takes care of the e-mails for a domain name (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), directing (CNAME record) and so on are taken from the DNS servers of the hosting company and for any domain address to be using them and to be directed to their hosting platform, it ought to have their name servers, or NS records. If you would like to open a site, for instance, and you type the URL, the browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain name and the request is then pointed to the DNS servers of the hosting company where the A record of the web site is retrieved, so you can see the content from the correct location. Usually a domain has two name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the distinction between the two is just visual.
