A 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. 123.45.678.01) or by ns1.something.com or ns2.something.com etc.
