www alias not working

I have created a simple "offline" site which works when calling it without the www alias but whenever I add www it times out.

The site is mybusinessserver.co.uk which works fine, but www.mybusinessserver.co.uk does NOT.

The site is setup to use SSL with Let's Encrypt and the certificate is valid.

Could someone please explain how I can get the www alias to work.

Here is my VirtalHost file for the domain as created by VirtualAdmin (i.i. untouch by me):

hi, just checked out your site with www.mybus......co.uk and it works, at least I see site offline with apology message. Same message is shown when visiting site without www. Perhaps issue was in your browser?

Configuring/troubleshooting Debian servers is always great fun

I can confirm access using both (it appears to redirect to www)

Maybe a DNS propagation issue?

Oh, OK. Thank you, I'm guessing it must be something to do with my local DNS then. Well at least this (finally) managed to get it posted (even though I could never see it as posted or got an access denied).
