It means your info is going to Virginia in the US.
They (duckduckgo) use a server located there to process your search
terms and give you the info you want.
That was clear to me. I was afraid i was dumb and did not understand
something underlying. Whois said to me the adresses belong to Amazon?
Generally, i might agree that us-based servers could be more privacy
critical to not-us citizens than let's say finnish or norvegian servers.
To get to Finland for example your traffic will most likely go through
Sweden where privacy is even more of a question. :(
So, ixquick would be the better option? Anyway, me too, i find the ddg !
feature is great (Try to use it with "!ixquick <put your searchitem
here>" : great! :D).
DDG also operates an onion service, see the bottom of the page at the
owner's blog for the address:

That would be about the maximum currently available.

Except the NSA is extremely interested in cracking anything related to
Tor... so connecting to a Tor server in anyway may make you more
suspicious looking... :(
I think Amazon is simply the platform (not as in Amazon.com store...
just their web services)
