You don’t need cPanel. You can use wordops or slick stack. They are auto install scripts. I think runcloud has a free option too.
Thanks, do you have any tutorial?

This is for DO, but the same instructions apply to any host.

Thank you for this share, I'm going to try this tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. In the past I've been trying to host my sites on VPS, I even installed Centos 7 and everything was working fine, but I had a problem with sending emails from a server. I couldn't even get an email for a password reset, and that's why I decided to continue w/shared hosting.

Great. Let me know how it works out. I've been hosting my sites using word ops for a while now and I've not had any problems so far.
I might be totally wrong, but I think some companies like DO block the ability to send emails. Maybe that's the reason. Again, I'm not sure but I think I read something like that.

I've never lost my password. lol. I generally use mailjet or something similar for other emails anyway.

i left cpanel long ago,
i used vestacp after that, and currently i am using a service called "Server Avatar" https://serveravatar.com/
its easy to use, and you can use more then 1 vps with same fees.
