How to install a WordPress site under https.
 
1. Choose Custom Install
2. Navigate to the "Choose Installation URL" and click the "Choose Protocol" Box.
3. Select "https://" or "https://www." and done.

What’s the difference between https:// and https://www?

Your www host record (www.mydomain.com) for your domain is the only record that has a valid destination.

Your @ host record (mydomain.com) points nowhere valid, so the domain name cannot be resolved.

There really is no difference functionality-wise. The user can access the site no matter if you choose to use either or both. Most sites use both in some way (e.g. resolving the www record to the @ record or vice versa).
 
So what’s the recommendation?
