Problem with subdomains using .htaccess to redirect non-www URLs to www (301)

I redirected non-www request to www through .htaccess Rewrite Rule.

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www

RewriteRule (.*) www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [L,R=301]

But now I am having problems with subdomains. When I am accessing touch.111.com then the above rule redirects to touch.www.111.com (which is not accessible), and the website breaks on touch devices.

Please advise me on how to fix the above problem.

# For sites running on a port other than 80
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}   !^www\.example\.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}   !^$
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^80$
RewriteRule ^/(.*)         http://www.example.com:%{SERVER_PORT}/$1 [L,R]

# And for a site running on port 80
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}   !^www\.example\.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}   !^$
RewriteRule ^/(.*)         http://www.example.com/$1 [L,R]

This is a generic solution that can work for any domain name:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]

You must be specific if you want to redirect only domain.com to www.domain.com and retain sub-domains (such as touch.domain.com) :

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://www.domain.com/$1 [L,R=301]
