You should open a ticket with your host if they're not providing updates (even if it is only optional), you clearly don't have the access to run steamcmd yourself (the install/update tool). The patch is optional as clients do not require it to play on the server, so in order to minimize disruption it can be applied whenever individual servers want to (or possibly never, at least until the next mandatory one, if they've already worked around it).
And while I understand your frustration, if you'd installed the server yourself you would know how to update it, which is why I felt no need to include instructions to that effect. However, having gone the easy route of paying a GSP to host it, you're at their mercy and should be having this conversation with their support channels, no one here can offer anything but workarounds using server plugins.
