The Name Servers of a domain reveal the DNS servers that manage its DNS records. The IP of the site (A record), the mail server that deals with the emails for a domain (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), forwarding (CNAME record) etc are obtained from the DNS servers of the hosting company and for any domain name to be using them and to be directed to their hosting platform, it should have their name servers, or NS records. If you wish to open a site, for instance, and you input the URL, the browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain name and the request is then forwarded to the DNS servers of the hosting provider where the A record of the website is retrieved, allowing you to view the content from the correct location. Usually a domain name has a couple of name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the contrast between the two is simply visual.
