Yes control panel is must if you're buying it to host a website, not just cpanel, you can ask for free control panels like kloxo or webmin (I'd recommend kloxo) :)
 
A control panel is only to simplify things for you and make it easier to manage things.

If you know what you're doing then there is no "need" at all.

Also, running a control panel on a low memory vps wouldn't be recommended, although newuploader says so. If you do then you should optimize things as much as possible.
 
so, i can manage ftp accounts, file manager, msql databases, phpmyadmin, etc... without using cpanel ?

Yes, no only those but You can do everything without control panel via SSH

if you will use control panel , then it will also consume memory :) server runs much faster without control panel on less RAM

if you have enough RAM then better install control panel ...

Control Panel is NOT MUST even if you are going to host website

Control panel are just to help you do things easily !! that's it

Yep i agree with @prateek ..

It is not vital to have a control panel, and plus most actually take a lot of resources to function.

The lowest footprint one is Webmin in my experience.

So if you really want a panel, go for webmin :)

Good luck,

Wait untill finish then open browser
type your ip in address bar and use port 7778
example -*192.168.1.88:7778

login by*
id admin
password admin
*
 
Login as Root via SSH

type the following command one by one ( Cent OS 5)

PHP:
su - root
PHP:
setenforce 0
PHP:
yum install -y wget
PHP:
wget http://download.lxcenter.org/download/kloxo/production/kloxo-installer.sh
PHP:
sh ./kloxo-installer.sh --type=master


Once kloxo is installed, you can connect to http://YOUR_SERVER_IP:7778 and you will be presented with a login screen. Login as admin with password admin and once you are in, Kloxo will ask you to change the default password to a secure one.
