CentOS still works great for servers. The problem with classic CentOS and other RHEL clones is that they can't fix bugs or accept contributions that change the OS. CentOS finally fixed these problems by moving upstream of RHEL (but still downstream of Fedora). It is now the major version that RHEL minor versions branch off from, so it's still very stable and highly compatible. I've got a thread with diagrams that may help.
