What Dbnet does

DbNet S.r.l. is an Italian Internet Service Provider and managed technology services company headquartered in Monte Compatri (Rome), founded in 1999 and operating under ROC registration n.13277 with MIMIT authorization 2026:0395. The company offers an integrated portfolio spanning fiber connectivity (FTTH up to 10 Gbps, FTTC up to 200 Mbps, FTTO dedicated symmetric up to 1 Gbps), VoIP/SIP trunk telephony, the proprietary Dbnet PBX cloud-based virtual telephone exchange, managed cloud servers, professional web hosting with cPanel and SSD NVMe storage, and supporting services including domain registration, cybersecurity, IT assistance, network design, and web development/digital marketing. Customer targets are Italian SMEs (PMI), freelance professionals (Partite IVA), residential households, and public administration bodies, with separate dedicated sub-sites (dbnet.it, fibra.dbnet.it, webmarketing.dbnet.it) and MEPA procurement listings for government buyers.

The technology stack is built on wholesale partnerships with Open Fiber, Fibercop, and Retelit, allowing Dbnet to deliver nationwide Italian fiber coverage without owning physical infrastructure, while layering on its own managed services such as the Cloud PBX platform (with SIP/WebRTC, IVR, voicemail-to-email, call recording, queue management, mobile APP, and LDAP/API/AMI integration interfaces) and Cloud NSX software-defined networking with distributed firewall, microsegmentation, VPN SSL/IPsec, and dynamic routing. Hardware vendor partnerships (Samsung OfficeServ, Yeastar, Zycoo, Zyxel, HP, Dell, Fanvil) extend the telephony and networking product portfolio, and ISO/IEC 27001, 27017, and 27018 certifications alongside Italian data residency position the company for regulated and public-sector workloads.

Dbnet generates revenue through six identifiable streams: recurring fiber/connectivity subscriptions, recurring VoIP/SIP trunk and Cloud PBX services, recurring cloud and hosting subscriptions, project-based web development and digital marketing fees, one-time IT hardware sales, and ad-hoc or managed professional services for IT support and cybersecurity. Pricing ranges from approximately €1.25/month for basic hosting to €128.90/month for All-Inclusive business bundles, with custom quotations for FTTO dedicated symmetric fiber and cloud server deployments. Sales are conducted primarily through direct channels (website forms, telephone, in-person technical consultation) targeting four primary segments, with marketing supported by SEO, Google/Meta/LinkedIn Ads, owned websites, social media, and MEPA e-procurement for public-sector buyers. The company is privately held with no disclosed external funding.
