Question : What does nslookup do?
I just bought a domain name and hosting my website on my own server with static ip. I configured the host record in doamin provider's nameserver to point to my ip (76.10.*.*).
When I run nslookup abc.com
Server: resolver1.opendns.com
Address: 208.67.222.222
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: abc.com
Address: 76.10.*.*

Why the name here under Non-authoritative answer is my domain name not the name server hosting the record? so how do I find out the nameserer hosting my record? Isn't nslookup suppose to show nameserver?

nslookup will resolve names to ip addresses from dns servers. by default it resolves A records.
if you other info like dns servers serving a domain, then
nslookup> set type=ns
nslookup> yourdomain.com
