Does the Minecraft Realms Friend Count include the Host?

I have a 10 "friend" Realm, does that mean me and 9 or 10 other players can play? Does being the host count as a "friend" slot?


Quoting the store page:

Pick this option to own a realm which supports simultaneous play for you and ten friends.

It would be you and ten other people, so 11 players (including you) total.
