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.

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

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.

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.
