Lets compare (by numbers you listed)
24/7 toll-free phone support
1. no (no phone support)
2. no (no phone support)
3. no (no phone support)
4. no (no phone support)
5. unknown (site wont load)
Liquidweb: Yes

24/7 ticket staff support
1. no (support is offline when I checked)
2. unknown (doesnt say)
3. unknown (doesnt say)
4. unknown (doesnt say)
5. unknown (site wont load)
Liquidweb: Yes

Own datacenter
1. no
2. no
3. no
4. no
5. unknown (site wont load, chances are no)
Liquidweb: Yes

The difference is clear. As I stated before, if I have an admin problem, I can talk to an admin within 20min at peak hours. You don't have staff, when you and your affiliate aren't there there is no support.

Amaze, I didn't want to start anything, but since you wanted me to demonstrate my point. Liquidweb is one of the largest webhosts out there, it has a large staff and a solid corporate backing, your host does not. You said yourself that you don't intend on going with this when you are older, so for all I know your host could end up sold or just gone like many other small hosts. That is the difference.
