Everything an advanced marketer needs from a tracking server
Run your Google Tag Manager server container on your own domain, keep it out of blocklists, and watch every request, with the tools to keep your data complete.
- No credit card to start
- 3 global regions
- Your own domain with SSL
track.yourstore.com
First-partyEvents go to your own domain first, then your server forwards them to each platform.
Why choose FlyNode for server-side GTM
All the benefits of server-side tagging, without the infrastructure work that usually comes with it.
Live in minutes
Paste your container config, deploy, and point your site at it. We run Google's official server container image, so your tags work as they do today.
Fully managed
We deploy, secure and monitor the container. SSL, restarts and routing are handled, so there is nothing to patch or scale.
First-party by default
Answer on a subdomain of your own site. Requests look like your own traffic, so they are far less likely to land on a blocklist.
Predictable flat pricing
Pick a plan by monthly requests, from free to $50. No surprise line items for compute, networking or logging.
Visibility built in
A live request meter, Event Logs and analytics show what reaches your server, so you can trust your tracking and spot problems early.
Human support
Email hello@flynode.io on any plan. We typically reply within one business day.
Better data, better return on every ad dollar
Ad platforms optimize on the conversions they can see. Give them more of the real ones.
Feed the algorithms complete conversion data
When blockers and browser limits hide conversions, bidding models optimize on a partial picture. Server-side tracking sends what your customers actually did, which can bring your cost per acquisition down.
- Conversions reach the platforms even when the browser blocks scripts
- Fewer gaps between your store and your ad accounts
- Move from guesswork to numbers you can trust
The technical features behind it
Everything that keeps your tracking fast, private and yours.
Cookie Keeper
Browsers cut short the cookies that scripts set, often to about 7 days. Cookie Keeper restores your chosen marketing cookies from your own server, for up to 400 days on paid plans.
- Up to 400 days
- Presets for major platforms
- Paid plans
Custom Loader
Serve the tag loader from a branded path of your choosing, so blocklists that look for the standard script name never match it.
- Branded path
- Every plan
- One switch
First-Party Domain Tracking
Answer on a subdomain of your own site, like track.yourstore.com. Add one DNS record and SSL and routing are handled for you.
- One DNS record
- Automatic SSL
- Looks like your site
Real-time Traefik Metrics & Dashboard
A live request meter counts what reaches your server against your plan, next to server health and logs, all in one dashboard.
- Live request meter
- Server health
- Logs in one place
Meta CAPI & Google Analytics 4
Run the GA4 client and the Meta Conversions API tag in your server container and forward events from one place you control.
- GA4 client
- Meta CAPI tag
- One control point
Data Hashing (SHA-256)
Hash emails, phone numbers and other personal data with SHA-256 in your server container, so raw PII never reaches an ad platform.
- SHA-256
- Emails and phones
- Raw PII stays home
Custom Domain Management
Add and manage the domains your server answers on from the dashboard, with certificates issued and renewed for each.
- Add from dashboard
- Certificates renewed
- Multiple domains by plan
100% Data Ownership
The container, its configuration and every destination are yours. You decide what is collected and where it goes.
- Your container
- Your configuration
- Your destinations

FlyNode runs in 3 global regions: North America, Europe and Singapore. Your tagging endpoint sits close to your visitors, wherever they are, so requests stay fast.
- North America, Europe and Singapore
- Your own first-party domain with automatic SSL
- Live request metrics and logs for every container

Questions about managed sGTM
Google recommends running several server instances for production, and on Google Cloud you pay for that compute around the clock plus networking, on a bill that varies with region, traffic and configuration. FlyNode charges one flat monthly price based on your request allowance, from free to $100 a month, fully managed, with SSL and monitoring included. Use Google's pricing calculator with your own traffic to compare.
