Nothing gets more techy than servers. Why I would hire a tech company that uses pre 2000 design and static pages from 2006 to sell me on their modern tech solution is beyond me.

I think the date of copyright is supposed to be the date at which content you are copyrighting was first created and anything after that date is covered. Not certain though
There are no rules here, only conventions. In my opinion, a copyright year in the past makes it look like you don't know what you're doing. If you feel the need to tout your long history, then put the start and current year, like 2011-2013. Otherwise, follow convention and make sure it always reads the current year.
That work will (hopefully) enter the public domain one day. By forward-dating the copyright notice, you are attempting to fraudulently extend your limited monopoly.

The short answer is that we've made a (philosophical) decision to stay right in our highly technical niche and not gussy up our site, or product, with all of the things you might expect to see. This resonates very well with the people that find us and will eventually use us, but the people that make decisions and pay us are not impressed with what they see. So if we're not going to put up the PDF whitepapers and the…
I'm a recent law graduate researching warrant canaries. Is there a contact at your company I can be put in touch with?

I'm a recent law graduate (- but I now work for the NSA...) researching warrant canaries (- and looking at ways to deal with these companies)
It may be a bit conspiracy-theory, but current affairs suggest it is certainly not outside the realms of possibility.
Small grammar nitpick: In the last sentence of the "Cheap and risk free" section you use the word "years" twice where "year's" would be the appropriate usage.

That's a very interesting statement that can be read many, many ways... It may pay to clarify your background a little.

Using the right language for different buyers is a good lesson. First thing I'd A/B test on the page is the section mentioning "Cheap". I think business purchasers rarely want cheap, they want value and cost effectiveness.
I had the same reaction.. I always tend to use the word "affordable" since I personally interpret "cheap"as low quality. However, I usually interpret "affordable" as a good value for whatever price (even if it is actually expensive)
Awesome! I like the straightforward nature of this article, it focuses on content rather than style. A minor nitpick if any of the rsync.net guys are reading this. The front page states "11 Years serving customers worldwide" and the top section states "Enterprise Offsite Backup Since 2001".
"it appeals to technical people that appreciate elegant solutions"
Should arguably read as "people who appreciate". "Who" is preferred over "that" or "which" when referring to people.

Lying about the copyright date is fraud. That work will (hopefully) enter the public domain one day. By forward-dating the copyright notice, you are attempting to fraudulently extend your limited monopoly.
