SHIFT Hosting at ISP America 2026: Building Better Networks with DE-CIX

From March 3–5, 2026, the SHIFT Hosting team will be attending ISP America in Atlanta, one of the premier industry events for ISPs, network engineers, and telecom professionals.

Our CEO, Aaron Rodriguez, will be representing SHIFT Hosting LLC at the DE-CIX Booth (#423), meeting operators, discussing real-world peering solutions, and sharing insights on how smarter connectivity drives better performance across networks.

Why Peering Matters More Than Ever

Today’s internet ecosystem relies heavily on how efficiently data travels between users and content. Poor routing and unnecessary transit hops not only increase latency but also inflate operational costs.

At SHIFT Hosting, we focus on:

  • Reducing latency by keeping traffic local and eliminating avoidable upstream routes.
  • Lowering transit costs through optimized peering strategies.
  • Improving reliability and performance with balanced smart transit and IX connectivity.
  • Designing scalable network architecture that grows alongside your business demands.

As Aaron Rodriguez puts it, peering isn’t just about plugging into an exchange, it’s about bringing content closer to your customers and building relationships across the operator community that enhance the internet experience for everyone.

Partnering with DE-CIX for Smarter Connectivity

We’re proud to collaborate with DE-CIX, one of the world’s leading Internet Exchange (IX) operators, known for its robust infrastructure and global presence. Our shared mission is to make high-quality network performance accessible to ISPs and hosting providers through simple, effective, and resilient connectivity solutions.

At the DE-CIX Booth (#423), you’ll have a chance to:

  • Meet with SHIFT Hosting CEO Aaron Rodriguez to discuss real peering use cases.
  • Explore smarter routing and low-latency network designs.
  • Learn how DE-CIX services integrate with SHIFT Hosting’s smart transit approach.
  • Get practical insights to lower your transit spend and enhance end-user experience.

Join Us in Atlanta, March 3–5, 2026

If you’re attending ISP America 2026, we’d love to connect. Stop by Booth 423 to meet our team and see how SHIFT Hosting and DE-CIX are helping reshape the way operators think about connectivity.

Together, we can build networks that perform better, cost less, and scale smarter.

Why “Just Rent Dedicated Servers” Isn’t Enough: The Case for Bare Metal Colocation

Why “Just Rent Dedicated Servers” Isn’t Enough: The Case for Bare Metal Colocation

For many tech companies, the default advice is simple: just rent dedicated servers. It’s quick to deploy, predictable on a monthly invoice, and removes the operational burden of hardware ownership. But as traffic grows and infrastructure becomes central to your product experience, that simplicity starts to come at a cost. At a certain scale, the conversation shifts from convenience to control. That’s where bare metal colocation changes the equation, especially when deployed in a neutral data c

How Much Does IP Transit Cost? A Complete Guide to IP Transit Price and Billing Models

If you’re evaluating upstream connectivity, one question always comes first: How much does IP Transit cost? In 2026, IP Transit price typically ranges from $0.03 to $3.00 per Mbps, depending on your region, committed bandwidth, provider tier, and service guarantees. However, pricing is rarely just about “price per Mbps.” The billing model, traffic profile, geography, and contract structure can dramatically change your final monthly invoice. This guide explains how IP Transit pricing works,

Inside an IP Transit Blend: Why Route Diversity Beats a Single “Tier-1”

When businesses evaluate IP transit, one of the most common assumptions is that a single Tier-1 provider automatically guarantees the best performance. On paper, that logic sounds convincing. Tier-1 carriers operate massive global backbones, maintain settlement-free peering, and advertise full internet routing tables. But real-world networking is more nuanced than marketing labels. In practice, a carefully engineered IP transit blend combining multiple upstream providers almost always delivers

Inside the NOC: How Networks Stay Up While You Sleep

Most people only think about networks when a page will not load or a service goes down. For the teams in a Network Operations Center (NOC), the whole goal is to make sure those moments almost never happen. While you sleep, watch streams, push code, or run your business, NOC engineers are quietly watching graphs, logs, and alerts, making sure backbones, IP transit, and data center links behave the way they should. Their success is measured in boredom: nothing catches fire, nothing surprises custo
