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.

How to Read a Traceroute When Evaluating IP Transit

How to Read a Traceroute When Evaluating IP Transit

Traceroute is one of the simplest tools for checking how traffic moves across the Internet. It is also one of the most misunderstood. When evaluating IP Transit, many buyers run a traceroute, see a few high numbers, and immediately assume the provider is bad. Others ignore traceroute completely and only look at bandwidth commits, port speed, and price per Mbps. Both approaches miss the point. Traceroute does not tell you everything about IP Transit quality, but it can reveal useful signals a

IP Transit Discipline for Small FISPs

IP Transit Discipline for Small FISPs

Small FISPs feel every bad network decision faster than larger providers. A large ISP can usually absorb mistakes across more upstreams, more POPs, more backbone capacity, and more routing options. A small fiber ISP does not always have that luxury. One weak upstream, one underplanned commit, one poor facility choice, or one congested path can quickly turn into slow speeds, high latency, support tickets, and frustrated subscribers. For a small FISP, IP Transit is not just a bandwidth line item

How Your Startup’s IP Transit Plan Should Match Customer Acquisition

How Your Startup’s IP Transit Plan Should Match Customer Acquisition

Startups often treat growth and infrastructure as two separate tracks. The growth team decides which markets to enter, which channels to invest in, and who the ideal customer is. The engineering team decides where to host the product, which cloud region to use, which data center to choose, or which provider handles connectivity. For simple software products, that separation can work for a while. But for infrastructure-heavy startups, SaaS platforms, API companies, gaming backends, data produc

Why SaaS Latency Gets Worse After Product-Market Fit

Why SaaS Latency Gets Worse After Product-Market Fit

Product-market fit changes the shape of a SaaS company. Before product-market fit, latency problems are usually small, scattered, and easy to ignore. The product has fewer users, traffic is more predictable, and most performance work happens inside the application. Teams optimize database queries, reduce frontend bundle size, improve caching, and tune cloud instances. After product-market fit, the same product starts behaving differently. More users arrive from more regions. API traffic becom
