Hosts del Mar 2026 - Invite-Only Hosting Industry Retreat in Ibiza
Location: Ibiza, Spain
Format: Invite-only industry retreat / private networking gathering
Industry focus: Web hosting, domain services, cloud infrastructure, website security, WordPress ecosystem, digital service providers
Public registration: Not publicly listed at the time of writing
Hosts del Mar is an invite-only gathering for leaders and senior professionals from the web hosting, cloud, website security, and domain-adjacent industries. Rather than following the traditional conference model of exhibition stands, keynote stages, and public ticket sales, the event appears to be designed as a smaller relationship-building retreat for selected industry participants.
The event has been publicly associated with Ibiza and with a more relaxed, high-trust networking format. According to Atarim’s own recap of a previous Hosts del Mar edition, the event was intentionally different from a standard business conference, with “no panels, no pitches, no small talk” during its music-focused moments, and a strong emphasis on personal connection, trust, and long-term relationships within the web hosting ecosystem.
WebHosting.Today described Hosts del Mar as a VIP event co-organized by Vito Peleg, Founder of Atarim, and the Monarx team. Their coverage described the event as being held at a luxury hotel in Ibiza and positioned it as a deliberate alternative to the usual fast-paced conference circuit, with the simple but powerful aim of focusing on “people, not products.”
Why this event is relevant to DNForum readers
Although Hosts del Mar is not a domain conference in the classic sense, it is relevant to the wider domain name industry because the participating companies and attendees sit close to the infrastructure layer of the internet. The event brings together people from hosting, domain distribution, web security, cloud storage, managed service providers, WordPress services, and digital presence platforms.
For domain investors, registrars, hosting providers, and digital service companies, this makes Hosts del Mar interesting as a signal of where relationship-led business development is happening in the hosting and domain-adjacent ecosystem.
Confirmed 2026 public mentions
Realtime Register publicly posted that Berend van Dalfzen, Martijn Kamphuis, and Martin Spreer were heading to Hosts del Mar in Ibiza. The company described the event with hashtags including #Networking, #IndustryEvents, #InviteOnly, #IndustryLeaders, and #HostingCommunity.
The same Realtime Register post thanked the following sponsors connected with the 2026 edition:
Realtime Register also mentioned an upcoming performance by Lords of Uptime, described in the post as an industry band, with Martin Spreer taking part. CloudFest separately describes Lords of Uptime as “the Cloud’s own all-star band,” which underlines the close connection between this social/music element and the wider cloud and hosting conference community.
Previous Hosts del Mar activity
Public posts and coverage from the 2025 edition suggest that the event combined high-level networking with informal shared experiences. One attendee, Sander Cruiming, described Hosts del Mar in Ibiza as a chance to reconnect with friends from the hosting industry, make new connections, and enjoy a mix of networking, food, drinks, hiking, and rock and roll.
WebHosting.Today also published interviews and content connected to Hosts del Mar, including an interview with Patric Rosati from Monarx during the event in Ibiza. That coverage positioned Monarx as a cybersecurity company focused on protecting web hosting environments, especially the shared hosting layer.
Another WebHosting.Today LinkedIn post stated that Macsen Galvin of Namespace Group was interviewed in Ibiza during Hosts del Mar, in a discussion covering the realities of running a modern hosting operation, including NIS2, AI, and operational complexity in the hosting sector.
About some of the companies connected with the event
Atarim is a website feedback and client collaboration platform built for digital service providers, agencies, hosting providers, and MSPs that deliver website projects for business clients. Realtime Register also lists Atarim as part of its Online Presence portfolio.
Monarx provides website and server security for web hosts, with malware detection and protection technology aimed at hosting environments.
Patchstack is known in the WordPress security ecosystem for vulnerability intelligence and virtual patching, helping protect websites from plugin, theme, and WordPress core vulnerabilities.

Realtime Register is a B2B platform for wholesale domains, domain automation, SSL, digital presence solutions, and services for resellers, hosting providers, agencies, and managed service providers.
Event positioning
Hosts del Mar appears to represent a growing style of industry gathering: smaller, private, relationship-led, and built around trust rather than exhibition traffic. For the hosting and domain infrastructure community, that makes it an interesting example of how senior-level networking is evolving beyond traditional conference halls.
For DNForum readers, the main takeaway is that Hosts del Mar is not a typical public event. It is better understood as a curated, invite-only retreat where selected people from the hosting, cloud, security, and domain-adjacent industries meet in a more personal setting.
Important note
At the time of writing, no official public registration page, public agenda, or open ticketing page was found for Hosts del Mar 2026. Anyone interested in attending should treat it as an invitation-only event and contact the organizers or participating companies directly if appropriate.
