I remember Microsoft's problem.  But isn't payment made for the amazon.com 
part and then www.amazon.com comes for free?

So now www.amazon.com works again:

# nslookup www.amazon.com
Server:  ns.nts.umn.edu
Address:  128.101.101.101

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:    www.amazon.com
Address:  72.21.210.11

It seems to me that www.amazon.com was deleted from DNS tables somehow and 
has now been restored.  I'm not sure how that can happen beause I don't 
know a lot about how DNS works.
