OK so perhaps I should try Debian on VPS 9. I know @"Hidden Refuge" is using it successfully with VPS 16. Problem is I am used to CentOS. But maybe it's time for a change.  We have two options for VPS 9: CentOS early version 6.5 or Debian. And maybe Debian is the better option of the two.

Why don’t you try CentOS 7 first? That’s what i use on my VPS 9 which seems to work just fine. Not sure if you’re going to have the same experience due to the whole virmach not properly upgrading your VPS issue. But it doesn’t harm giving it a try. Who knows, maybe the issues you were experiencing are because of CentOS 6.5 being so old rather than an issue of upgrading the VPS properly on virmach’s end.
