MT’s shared hosting comes with a control panel to help you managed the websites. DO doesn’t have that kind of native functionality though. It’s not a per-website or app service. It’s a virtual machine provider. But you can install a control panel like cPanel (paid) or Virtualmin (free). It requires a level of familiarity with the command line and systems administration. If you’re not well versed with Linux or its tools, I recommend you look at third party service that help you manage your DO VPS instead.
Cheers
