Setting up www subdomain for domain name

I followed the guide for setting up domain names and it works for micahshell.me, but not when I put www.micahshell.me. Under the dns records I put www in the hostname under A/AAAA Record's and put in the server ip. With the www in the url I get a server not found error.

I also used this guid: https://www.linode.com/docs/websites/hosting/set-up-web-server-host-website/

To setup a static nginx server. I've also setup cert bot.

Thanks.

Disregard, I'm a dummy

@micahshell --

How long ago did you do this? Generally, it takes 48 hours for DNS changes to propagate around the world.

Also, did you blow your browser cache before you tried http://www.micashell.me? Is your certificate working properly for https://micahshell.me?

Yes it's working now, I just set it up today. I forgot it takes time to update, it's working now. Thanks.
