    It is an computer that holds information needed for example to redirect some domain visitor to proper server where are hosted this domain website files.

    Example domain has these nameservers set:
    ns1.hostingprovider.tld
    ns2.hostingprovider.tld

    So when someone open that domain in web browser, the request is then sent to the nameserver mentioned above. This computer then process the request an eventually help provide website data back.

    Each website exist on IP address and nameserver is a part of DNS(Domain name system). DNS is look like a database which works as a phone book for the computers. It changes the domain name like an address "www.abcd.com" to a machine readable IP address as "44.342.115.67".Whenever we type a domain on browser, namesercer offer the IP address of the domain t the browser.

    Remembering a IP address is difficult for a number of domains , so the name name act as an building blocks(Records)for the DNS system were your ip gets mapped with Domain. when you search for website through the domain name , it goes and points to the IP address

    Name sever is basically a DNS record . It is the one that allows the usage of a domain name instead ip address , it binds a domain name with ip.
