A Domain name server basically points your domain name to the server on which your site is hosted. If your website is hosted on the server which has an IP address 1.1.1.1 and your domain name is requested then the nameserver which can be ns1.yourdomain.com will receive the request and point the request to your server which has the IP address 1.1.1.1. Hence, your website will be displayed on the requester's screen.
