Why own your ad server

Three reasons ad businesses switch to DJAX.

Stop paying per impression

SaaS ad servers charge more as you grow. A DJAX license is a one-time cost, so your margin improves with every impression you serve.

Your platform, your brand

Advertisers and publishers log in to your platform on your domain. You own the relationships and the product you sell.

Your data stays with you

Deploy in your own data centre or cloud account. First-party data, logs and reports never leave your control.

Programmatic

Direct deals and programmatic demand in one auction.

Run a Prebid-based header bidding wrapper, connect DSPs over OpenRTB, and let direct campaigns compete with programmatic bids for every impression. The highest price wins, with floors and priorities you control.

  • Header bidding with Prebid adapters
  • OpenRTB 2.x supply and demand connections
  • Private marketplace deals and floors
  • Unified reporting across direct and programmatic
