What are nameservers for?

Nameservers maps IP addresses to names (domain names). Every computer including web servers needs IP address so it can be connected to the Internet. Because numbers are hard to remember, especially long numbers, people have invented the domain name system (DNS) which is responsible for this. There are several root dns servers around the world that respond to queries for domain names. They return the authorative nameservers for specific domain, which return the IP address browser needs or any other application. The application then connects to the IP address and asks for the webpage in question. Nameservers can be setup at any domain registrar. At least two are required because if the first one fails the second will continue to serve the queries.
