# How to Deploy a Node

Running your own node allows you to access transaction data, blockchain history, and more.

Blockdaemon’s Dedicated Nodes allow you to deploy and manage a node for your chosen blockchain protocol. You can set up a dedicated node with full control over the configuration, including network, node type, and hosting provider.

This guide will take you step-by-step through the process of launching your own dedicated node on Blockdaemon.

1. Sign in to the [Blockdaemon Web App](https://app.blockdaemon.com/).

3. In the **Deploy a Node** tab, search for and select the protocol.

4. This will take you to the **Configure Your Node** page. Here, you can configure your nodes from the following configuration options:
   1. **Network**: The network environment on which to deploy the node
   2. **Node Name**: A unique Blockdaemon node identifier displayed within the blockdaemon platform. <br /> **❗️ We don't allow config changes to node name**❗️
   3. **Node Type**: Blockdaemon-provided node type. You can deploy some nodes directly (self-service), while others require assistance from Blockdaemon's CSM and protocol engineers (white-glove service)
   4. **Server Details**: The hosting provider and data center where your node will be hosted
5. To continue:
   1. Select **Continue to Payment** for a self-service deployment
   2. Select **Request Node** for a Blockdaemon-assisted deployment

7. You’ll be redirected to the node detail page. Here, you’ll see "**Your node is syncing**", along with a progress bar showing your node’s block height as it syncs with the blockchain.

> 👍 Note

> Synchronization time varies per protocol. If you’re concerned it is taking too long, contact support for assistance.

8. Go to the **My Nodes** tab to view your launched nodes and check their status.

9. On the node detail page, you’ll see:
   1. **Connection Information**: Copy your endpoint, review the documentation, and generate a code snippet based on your connection type.
   2. **Monitoring & Hosting Info**: Includes block height, peers, and hardware details like CPU load, disk space usage, and memory usage.
