Hello, you can't downgrade Centos.
You will have to reinstall your vps to use Centos 6

Not possible, just backup all your data and request a fresh install for CentOs6 from your host.

What old hosting features are you using that aren't compatible with CentOS 7?

LAMP stopped working after upgrade to CentOS 7, it could not auto run on boot.
There is a small issue with python installed on my host.

I see more compatible with addons running with Cantos 6 and easily use and control them on this version.

You are right, I reinstalled my VPS instead of using commands from hosting tutorials on the internet, they are complex and I got errors when following their steps to downgrade to Centos6.

I thought about this and did some searching but I think it is not possible or it should not be done because you can remove all components of Centos 7 which you installed on your hosting server, it is better to reinstall your VPS in this case so that you will have a fresh CentOS 6 to install somethings you want on it.

There isn't a supported way from CentOS in order to do it, as our colleagues have said above, the only way is to, backup, reinstall, restore. It's a bit sad, but it's the only way, good luck with this.

Not possible. Your only option is to reinstall.

for that you need to just re-install which is do by system administator(Your Host Can)

Downgrading OS version is not possible in CentOS, you need to backup the files and re-install the server. Also please note that upgrading from CentOS6 to CentOS 7 is impossible So you should check all your softwares should work fine in CentOS 6 before re-installing the server.
