Deploying to your site hosted with [123 Reg](https://www.123-reg.co.uk/) is very simple with DeployHQ.

Firstly, you'll need to set up your DeployHQ project, then connect to your 123 Reg server.

## Setting up your project

Head to the **Projects** screen in DeployHQ, then click the **New Project** button to get started.

You'll be prompted to enter a name for your project, then select where your repository is hosted.

Next, click **Create project** and you'll be taken to a screen where you can log in with your repository hosting account to authorise access and then choose your repository.

## Setting up 123 Reg

Before you can connect DeployHQ to your 123 Reg hosting, you'll need to **enable SSH access** — it is not turned on by default.

To enable SSH on shared or WordPress hosting:

1. Log into your [123 Reg control panel](https://www.123-reg.co.uk/secure/cpanel-login/)
2. Go to your **Hosting dashboard**
3. Select **Settings**
4. Click **Manage** opposite "SSH access"
5. Toggle the SSH access switch to **on**

Once enabled, you can view your SFTP/SSH credentials by clicking **View** opposite "SFTP/SSH details" in the Settings section. You'll see your **hostname**, **port**, **username**, and **password**.

Now, head to **Servers & Groups** in DeployHQ, and click the **New Server** button at the top of the screen. If you've just added your repository, you will have been taken to this page automatically.

Start by entering a name, and choosing SSH/SFTP as the protocol. Then enter the hostname, username and password from your 123 Reg SFTP/SSH details. The port should be **22**.

After this, enter a deployment path — the directory where files will be uploaded to on your server. This will normally be `public_html` for your primary domain on 123 Reg. For addon domains, the path is typically `public_html/your-domain.co.uk`.

If you're deploying a <a href="https://www.deployhq.com/wordpress" target="_blank">WordPress site</a>, you might enter the full path to the WordPress theme instead.

Within **Deployment options**, you can choose to automatically deploy your server and, if you're only deploying files from a certain directory in your repository, enter a **Deployment subdirectory**.

Click **Create Server** to finish, then you can proceed to start your first deployment.

## Run your first deployment

By default, DeployHQ will upload the whole repository to your server on the first deployment, because there is no previously deployed commit to compare to.

If your files are already on 123 Reg and up to date with the latest commit, you can follow this guide to skip that first deployment:

* [Don't deploy your whole repository on the first deployment](Article: #129)

Otherwise, just follow this guide to start your first deployment, then after the first deployment, only files that have changed will be uploaded in future.

* [Running your first deployment](Article: #43)

That's it! You've now set up and run your first deployment to your 123 Reg server and your future changes will be uploaded for you automatically, or at the simple click of a button.
