CNAME and redirect to non-www
I searched the web and I found out that the proper way to redirect www to non-www is to add a CNAME record that points to the non-www domain name, and then do the redirect in the server as well.
But I don't understand what should I put as "name".
Is it www.example.com or just www ?
I noticed that both work, but in the codes I found I saw that people use just www.
The problem is that if I use www then what will happen if I have multiple subdomains, like www.mysubdomain1.example.com, www.mysubdomain2.example.com ?

It really depends on your DNS server's user interface.

Just to clarify, www is also a subdomain to the TLD example.com
In general you don't require to use multi-level subdomains eg. www.subdomain.example.com If even if you put just www it won't create multi-level subdomains, For creating multilevel subdomains you would require to enter - www.subdomain in the CNAME name field.
Generally most of the DNS providers work by entring the subdomain string eg. www or subdomain.
