The Name Servers of a domain name point out the DNS servers that handle its DNS records. The Internet protocol address of the website (A record), the mail server that handles the e-mails for a domain (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), directing (CNAME record) and so forth are obtained from the DNS servers of the hosting company and for any domain to be using them and to be forwarded to their hosting platform, it ought to have their name servers, or NS records. If you wish to open an Internet site, for instance, and you insert the URL, the browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain name and the request is then sent to the DNS servers of the hosting provider where the A record of the website is retrieved, so that you can look at the content from the proper location. Commonly a domain address has a couple of name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the distinction between the two is only visual.
