My site is reacheable only without www.
I have added a CNAME record: www xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx but it still doesn’t work.
Any suggestion ?

If it is a wordpress installation, you also need to make sure that the siteurl for the wordpress website starts with www, else you will get the same problem.
I signed up just to add my solution, I spent days trying to figure out how to get the WWW version to work! I have hosting at Cloudways btw. So the first part is you need an A record with WWW pointed at your server IP address. But to really make it work I needed to add my WWW domain version to my SSL certificate on Cloudways. I already had “domain.com” but needed to add “www.domain.com” to the SSL. You need to add the www A record first before your SSL will update. In about an hour the www version will work.
I hope that saves a few people some time and hassle! Trying to edit the htaccess file and redirecting domains was not the solution I needed.
