Specifically:
I can't ping my server (4 sent, 0 received, 4 missed)
I can't connect via SSH using PuTTY (network error: connection timed out)
When I do a normal reboot of the VPS, KVM shows multiple CentOS 7 cores for 2 seconds (when I don't have a choice to react in 2 seconds, sometimes KVM doesn't load this screen in time). After the boot menu, there is just a black screen, but nothing can be typed
Where do you think the problem could be?
After Red Hat was acquired by IBM, things got a lot worse for CentOS in terms of various limitations.
CentOS was perfect in terms of stability before and as far as I know now there are some independent forks of it, driven by some communities. Try them.
Alternatively, I advise you to try your activities through another distro.
By the way, did the output of ssh -V return you the latest version?
What about the output of systemctl status sshd? Is port 22 blocked somewhere in the chain?
