Hi there @shariar4you,
There is no official upgrade procedure for CentOS 6 to CentOS 7.
What you would need to do is set up a new CentOS 7 server, then configure it so that it matches your current server setup, and finally migrate your websites from the old CentOS 6 server to the new CentOS 7 server.
Once all of the sites have been migrated and tested on the new server, you can shut down the old one and then delete it once you are sure that it is no longer needed.
Regards, Bobby
Hello, @shariar4you
There is no officially supported upgrade from CentOS 6 to 7 at all.
For a brief period around 7.0 time there was a vaguely working utility but it never worked very well and was prone to errors. Once 7.1 came along even that stopped working and has never worked since and never will.
You will need to spin up a new droplet and then migrate your data from the old server over to the new CentOS 7 droplet.
If you run any websites you can migrate them to the new server and test them using hosts file before switching the DNS over in order to make sure that everything is working as expected.
Hope that this helps! Regards, Alex
