It’s even better than that. In WordPress, you can select a plug-in from within your WordPress administration, and install it directly. You receive update notifications by email, and can upgrade within the administration panel as well. You don’t have to download and then upload anything.
In both Drupal and WordPress, you can upgrade the site and plugins/modules from CPanel.
I find Drupal just as easy to set up as wordpress. Most shared web hosts have a script to do everything for you, including installing updates. In fact, I find Drupal’s administration more logical and easier to manage. (I may be biased, since I spent 10 years developing Drupal sites.)
The other advantage is that, unlike WordPress, Drupal themes and plugins (the Drupal term is “modules”) are almost all open source and free. I find that WordPress has lots of plugins that give you the basic version for free, but then want to upsell you to a paid version.
I like Jitsi, but when I record a session it always silently aborts after about 40 minutes.
The database app in LibreOffice, based on the Firebird database engine, can do all that.
I use Brevo as well. Free tier: 300 emails per day.
Very happy with them.
You could check out FolderFort. Sometimes they have lifetime pricing. I paid something like $170 for 3TB lifetime.
They have SFTP access in beta.
