Although I agree that you have to feel comfortable with those whom you conduct business with, age alone shouldn't be the determining factor when deciding on a web host. Sometimes those that you assume are the least qualified to perform a particular type of work turn out to be the best suited. And just because someone is experienced, that does not necessarily make them reliable.
Regarding the kid in a store comment... Although I am often confused for someone under the age of 18 (as I have a very youthful appearance), I am quickly approaching 30. Due to my youthful appearance, I have had to work harder at gaining the trust of those around me than my peers have. But as far as people looking at me for help... well... when you call 911, I come and take care of business, often better than officers who have been in law enforcement twice as long as I have.
In short, don't allow mental blocks to affect your rational decisions.
