  4. In order to improve tracking quality by running sGTM on your own domain, choose a sub-domain of your main domain as the tagging-url. The sub-domain should be random (use this website to generate a random string: Random.org)

    1. Hostname: c3y1mavw4g.yoursite.com

    2. Type: A

    3. TTL: 60

    4. Data: ${IP_PROVIDED_BY_TAGLIFY}

    3. Keep your existing ${WEBCONTAINER_ID}
