I have just purchased a dedicated server and need help in setting it up I have no idea what to do 

Centos 6 is already eol and you should either reinstall centos 7 or another os. Most likely, there is a panel and you just have to click a button to install another os.

Also, I don't think it's a good idea to let someone else setup your server. Who knows what they could be doing on your server...

No, you can still use vnc but there's no reason for you to use centos 6 especially since you haven't set up anything yet.
