By default you get SSH access to your server and you could manage it via your terminal. Of course you also get root access so you could install any control panel that you need including cPanel.
Note that you would need to purchase your own cPanel license in order to activate your copy. The license is not provided by DigitalOcean.
Hope that this helps!
