You need to update joomla through Joomla update. You can't simply use FTP to overwrite the files - that cause an incomplete update since there are also database changes that the update script would normally make (which is why you do the updates from the update component).
Whether the 'auto' method or using the upload and update method, using the relevant update package you're updating to (from https://downloads.joomla.org/cms/joomla4).
The Joomla Update method will automatically know what version to update to and will prompt you for that. You can also use the 'Upload and Update' if the other doesn't work for some reason, using the packages found on the above downloads site. Update package (zip) is 28MB.
The update reminder is a plugin you can disable in the Plugins manager. I've never received any email reminders of Joomla updates being available, all I ever see is a subtle "an update is available" ("quick icon") in the Administrator control panel.
I'm sure there are budget-priced hosts out there that use cPanel or similar. How do you manage all the functions one would typically associate with web hosting without such a web host control panel like Plesk or cPanel?
