What's the difference between “default gateway” and “preferred DNS server”?

My hosting provider gives me an IP and an IP gateway address. I configured my domain to use the IP. I don't understand what is the use case for the gateway.

The gateway is the "next hop" - basically, your PC connects to the gateway IP to get out onto the rest of the internet.
