# Deploy a Host Connector for a configured Host

A Connector can be deployed for a Host while configuring the new Host using the wizard. Refer to [Add a Host to access an Application Server](https://openvpn.net/cloud-docs/owner/hosts/hosts---hosts/add-a-host-to-access-an-application-server.md).

You can deploy a Connector for an existing Host from the Connectors tab shown in the detailed view as shown in [View, make changes, and delete a Host](https://openvpn.net/cloud-docs/owner/hosts/hosts---hosts/view-make-changes-and-delete-a-host.md), or you can deploy it from the Connectors list as shown below:

1. Sign in to the CloudConnexa Administration Portal using your WPC's **Cloud ID** address (for example, `yourcompany.openvpn.com`).
2. Navigate to **Hosts \> Connectors**.
3. Click the **Deploy**  button for the Connector you want to deploy from the list.
4. Select **Deploy Connector** from the drop-down menu.
5. Select the Operating System or the IaaS provider where you will install the Connector from the **Provider Type** drop-down menu. Refer to [About Connectors](https://openvpn.net/cloud-docs/owner/get-started/about-cloudconnexa/cloudconnexa-connectors.md) and [About Host Connectors](https://openvpn.net/cloud-docs/owner/hosts/hosts---connectors/about-host-connectors.md).

   > **Note**
   >
   > The connection profile for the Connector can be downloaded as a .ovpn file after the Host is configured. Refer to [Download a Host Connector's connection profile as a .ovpn file](https://openvpn.net/cloud-docs/owner/hosts/hosts---connectors/download-a-host-connector-s-connection-profile-as-a--ovpn-file.md).
6. Follow the displayed steps to install the Connector.
7. Click **Next** to move to the next step.
8. A test is run to check if the Connector is online. Click **Finish** if it passes. If it fails, click **Back to Instructions** to see the installation steps or click **Proceed Without Testing** to continue with the configuration.

  > **Note**
  >
  > The tutorials below show steps for deploying the Connector as a Network Connector but they apply to a Host as well. The virtual machine on which the Connector is deployed must be the same as the one that will eventually host the application.
