Well, I kind only can complain about your friends internet then... Also I think if you just want a survival world, then you mustn't need any plugins.
And if it's really just Minehut be lagging, then well... I guess you'd just have to live with a free host that lags a tiny bit. But if anyone else would actually let you host a server with a paid plan, then you may be in luck! (Again, that is if anyone wills to.)
