TLDR: Only one version is working with SSL, either www or non-www, as same as hostname provided while installation.

It’s related to Let’s Encrypt SSL installation as written [at Docs](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/docs/INSTALL-cloud.md).

So, after launching setup it was asked to enter

```plaintext
Hostname for your Discourse? [discourse.example.com]: 

```

So, I typed `example.app`

Next, after installing Discourse, I am facing one problem that SSL is not working for the www version.  
For non-www, it’s works fine.

Ideally, I would like to have SSL for www and non-www version also.

I repeated entire process this time with `www.example.com` hostname, then SSL for non-www is not working.

What’s I am missing?
