# Data Collection Server URL

## Data Collection Server URL

The data collection server location serves as the host name portion of the 1x1 pixel request (`dcs.gif`): http:// HOSTNAME /DCSID/dcs.gif?QueryParameters...

For Webtrends On Demand, the domain name is *statse.webtrendslive.com*. For example:

`http://statse.webtrendslive.com/dcs5w0txb10000wocrvqy1nqm_6n1p/dcs.gif?dcsdat=...`

For SmartSource Data Collector, the domain name is the host name of the SDC server. For example, suppose your SDC is running on *pdx-sdc.webtrends.com*:

`http://pdx-sdc.webtrends.com/dcs12345610000wocrvqy1nqm_123pp/dcs.gif?dcsdat=...`

:::(Info) (Note The V10 JavaScript tag requires SmartSource Data Collector version 9.2.1 or higher. :::

**JavaScript Example:**

```
window.webtrendsAsyncInit = function () {
        var dcs = new Webtrends.dcs();
        dcs.init( {
                dcsid: "dcs9x99xxxx9xxx9xx9xxxx9x_9x9x",
                domain: "pdx-sdc.webtrends.com"
        });
        dcs.track();
}
```
