How Can I Vertically Center All Elements in the <Body> Tag?

Well, I’m currently working on a coming soon site. So far everything has been great, but I seem to be running into one issue. For the life of me, I can't seem to get all the content vertically centered - I’ve read many pages on the Internet, but I can’t get any working.

The HTML:

<h1>Protean</h1>
<p>Your status bar, your way.</p>

<hr>

<a class="Button" href="#">
<i class="fa fa-spin fa-refresh"></i> Coming Soon</a>
<hr style="height:8pt; visibility:hidden;" />

The CSS:

h1 {
color: #ffffff !important;
font-size: 350%;
}
p {
color: #ffffff !important;
font-size: 19px;
}
body {
background:#4fb088 !important;
text-align:center !important;
}
.Button {
background-color:#5fc79c;
display:inline-block;
cursor:pointer;
color:#ffffff;
font-family:HelveticaNeue-Medium;
font-size:16.5px;
padding:15px 35px;
text-decoration:none;
}
.Button:hover {
background-color:#6cd2a8;
}
.Button:active {
position:relative;
top:1px;
}
a:hover {
text-decoration:none;
color:white;
}
brbutton {
display: block;
margin: 10px 0;
}
hr {
height:1px;
visibility:hidden;
margin-bottom:-1px;
}

I dumped the files into a fiddle, here. If you are willing to help, that’d be appreciated.

Edit: Felipe M has helped me resolve my issue.

Solution 
  • <div class="container">
    <div class="cent"></div>
</div>

html,body
{
    height: 100%;
}
body
{
   display: table; 
   margin: 0 auto;
}

.container
{  
    height: 100%;
    display: table-cell;   
    vertical-align: middle;    
}
.cent
{
    height: 50px;
    width: 50px;
    background-color: black;      
}

    Change about your needs.

    By the way, there isn't a way to make content centered without using some divs elements.

    Good luck!
