www. missing from domains

[tdot]

My domains do not add www. to the beginning when visiting example.com. Is there an option in WHM to force domains to add it or do I need to add a DNS record / change the htaccess file?

Current htaccess to force HTTPS

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]

Current DNS

example.com A {ip}
www.example.com CNAME {domain}

Hello,

The "www" alias is setup by default when creating accounts, addon domain names, or aliases. As far as the forced redirection, here's a thread you may find helpful:

Redirect HTTP with www to HTTPS without www

Thank you.

I've changed the account domain in WHM wwwacctform but it does not seem to have updated when visiting example.com

old

 Domain example.com

new

 Domain www.example.com

If I understand this comment correctly, this is not the proper way to get what you want. You should set the account's domain back to the domain itself without the www.

What is it you want to do here exactly? Force http with www?
