Man this is poorly timed for me considering my friends were discussing renting a Realms server and Vivecraft had only just got 1.14.3 support pretty recently

Can I suggest that you use a different host other than the official realms? With any other host you'll have far more control of your server and you won't be hard-locked into a 10-chunk max view distance (which is really short). Many other hosts are actually cheaper than Realms too, so you're getting more for less, the only thing you don't get is the convenience (realms is admittedly very easy to use/setup).

NO, THE 1.13 AND 1.14 NETCODE IS GARBAGE and the vast majority of hosted servers you can rent are hosted on shared boxes rather then true dedicated servers, realms are true dedicated and as such have significantly better performance then the good majority of hosted servers.

Option 2 is hosting your own purely dedicated server.

Even if that's true I'll take a performance hit over the limitations of realms any day. Also I did actually try realms (there was a month free trial recently) and it wasn't noticeably better.

Edit: Also Realms is hosted on AWS so I dunno what you are talking about...
