The Name Servers of a domain reveal the DNS servers that deal with its DNS records. The IP address of the web site (A record), the mail server that takes care of the emails for a domain address (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), directing (CNAME record) and so on are extracted from the DNS servers of the website hosting company and for any domain address to be using them and to be forwarded to their hosting platform, it has to have their name servers, or NS records. If you want to open a website, for instance, and you type in the URL, the Internet browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain address and the request is then forwarded to the DNS servers of the hosting provider where the A record of the site is obtained, so that you can see the content from the right location. Normally a domain address has a couple of name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the contrast between the two is just visual.
