DNS commonly used for a Domain Name System its like record or data collection domain name owners details. and nameserver is the part of this system that gives match from domain name to ip adress, from hosting company. its either u use the registrar default name server or u use your hosting company name server.

I hope this help.

Name servers are the essential part of the domain name system. Function of thee name server is to handle the queries regarding the location of the domain names various services. In short name servers are the one that provide domain name to IP address match,

DNS is the server that translate the Domain to IP.
To connect to the server you cant really use the domain, you must to connect via IP.
so the DNS translate xxx.com to a.b.c.d ( ip ).

Now when you connect to the server the Apache or other HTTPD server take the Domain and point it to the hosted path.

so the DNS server is just a translater from Domain to IP.

So what is Name server?
Name Server is a a connect way to the DNS servers, simple to understand: Name servers are way to connect to the DNS server that translate Domain to IP :)
