Managed Server-Side Google Tag Manager on PixelFly Cloud

What is sGTM Hosting? PixelFly provisions and manages a full Google Tag Manager Server Container on PixelFly Cloud. You get all GTM server-side features (Google Ads Enhanced Conversions, any GTM template, preview/debug mode) without needing to manage GCP infrastructure.

1

Create sGTM Container

In your PixelFly dashboard, go to Containers → Create Container and select sGTM as the container type.

2

Enter GTM Container Config

Paste your GTM Server Container Config string. You can find this in Google Tag Manager under Admin → Container Settings of your server container.

Requirements:

  • A GTM Server Container (created in tagmanager.google.com)
  • The Container Config string from GTM server container settings
3

Wait for Provisioning

PixelFly automatically provisions two PixelFly Cloud services: a tagging server and a preview server. The status will update in your dashboard once ready.

4

Add Custom Domain

Add a CNAME record for your sGTM domain:

Type Name Value
CNAME server track.pixelfly.io
5

Configure GTM Web Container

In your GTM Web Container, set the Server Container URL to your custom domain (e.g., https://server.yourstore.com). All server-side tags will now route through PixelFly's infrastructure.

Done! Your sGTM container is now live with Cloudflare edge proxy, bot detection, and auto-scaling Cloud. Use GTM Preview mode to debug your server-side tags.
