The Name Servers of a domain name point out the DNS servers that handle its DNS records. The IP address of the site (A record), the mail server that deals with the e-mails for a domain (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), directing (CNAME record) etc are extracted from the DNS servers of the web hosting company and for any domain name to be using them and to be forwarded to their hosting platform, it has to have their name servers, or NS records. If you would like to open an Internet site, for example, and you enter the URL, the browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain and the request is then pointed to the DNS servers of the hosting company where the A record of the web site is obtained, enabling you to look at the content from the proper location. Commonly a domain name has 2 name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the difference between the two is just visual.

It takes simply a mouse click to see what name servers a domain uses at the moment or if they're the correct ones to direct a domain to the hosting space on our end and with a few mouse clicks more you will even be able to register private name servers for each of the domains that you own. For the latter option you can use the IPs of any company that you'd like the new NS records to point to.
