What is a Name Server?

Simply put, the name server is a pointer from your domain at the domain name database to wherever your actual website is (the server). Nameservers are usually referred to by either their ip's (an ip looks like 4 groups of numbers, or a "dotted quad" separated by dots e.g. 70.84.250.230) or by ns1.something.com or ns2.something.com etc.
