The server becomes a second job
Traffic spikes hit the box, not the vendor.
A good day on push or pop turns into a slow redirect and lost clicks.
Upkeep never ends.
OS updates, SSL renewals, database growth, log rotation. None of it makes you money. Have you thought about how to handle just 10 million clicks?
Server-side signal is a project.
Getting CAPI out of a self-hosted setup means GTM, a middle layer, and someone to keep it alive and up to date.
Infrastructure is our job.
Capacity is already there.
Redirects and event collection run on infrastructure built for high volume. You do not scale anything.
Domains and SSL are handled.
Add a custom tracking domain, SSL comes with it. Five domains on Builder, 50 on Team. You can put your Cloudflare in front of RedTrack for extra convenience.
Server-side is switched on, not built.
CAPI, first-party data collection and postbacks are configuration, not your team's development work. And there is MCP on top.
Cloud against self-hosted, in practice

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to popular questions right here. Contact us if you have additional questions.
Do I lose control of my data by moving to the cloud?
No. Raw data stays accessible through the API and exports. Retention is 12 to 36 months depending on the plan.
Is a cloud tracker slower than self-hosted?
The other way around — RedTrack infrastructure is built to scale across thousands of media buyers. So if your traffic spikes, it works as it used to. Redirect and event handling are built for high throughput and are monitored around the clock.
Can I keep my current tracking domains?
Yes. Point them at RedTrack and SSL is issued for you. You can have your Cloudflare setup in front of RedTrack.
How do I move campaigns across?
Team and Enterprise plans include setup assistance. If you have prepaid time left on another tracker, Migration Credit can cover up to four months on an annual plan.
