When was Minecraft 1.14.4 released?
Minecraft: Java Edition 1.14.4 was released on July 19, 2019.
What Java version does a Minecraft 1.14.4 server need?
Java 8. On FadeHost the server starts with the right Java for its Minecraft version on its own, so there is nothing to install or switch.
What did Minecraft 1.14.4 change?
1.14.4 was the last release in the 1.14 line and the one most servers settled on. It added the debug report command and a function permission setting, and further improved villagers and performance.
Can players on another version join a 1.14.4 server?
Only players on 1.14.4 itself: its network protocol (498) is its own. A Paper server can let other versions in with plugins such as ViaVersion and ViaBackwards.

Yes. Take a backup, switch the server to 1.14.4 and start it: the world is converted on the first boot. A world opened in 1.14.4 cannot be opened in an older version again, so keep the backup until you are sure.
How do I start a Minecraft 1.14.4 server?
Create a server on FadeHost and pick 1.14.4 in the software list: Paper, Purpur, Spigot, Vanilla, Fabric and Forge are there for this version. It is online in about a minute. The free tier runs a 2 GB server at no cost, and a paid server is sized to the RAM you need.
