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.

you can buy vps around $5 with 100 mbit unmetered BW

use kloxo

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

You can kindly go with www.cinfu.com. They have great servers with cheap prices

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,
Ryan
