The Name Servers of a domain name show the DNS servers that manage its DNS records. The Internet protocol address of the web site (A record), the mail server that manages the emails for a domain name (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), directing (CNAME record) and so forth are extracted from the DNS servers of the hosting provider and for any 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 would like to open an Internet site, for instance, and you type in the URL, the web browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain address and the request is then pointed to the DNS servers of the hosting provider where the A record of the site is retrieved, enabling you to see the content from the correct location. Usually a domain name has two name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the contrast between the two is only visual.
