A name server is a server which controls the DNS for a domain.
It handles queries or questions from your local computer, about the location of a domain name's various services.
Domain Name Servers are the Internet's equivalent of a phone book.
Which name servers you need to use depends on where it's registered and where your website is hosted. All domain registrars should provide you with the ability to change at least two name server entries on your domain name.
