Host where the staff takes pride in making customers happy
The main reason I wish to move my sites back to RIMU is the support, I think since this was my first web experience I took that for granted. If [the host I moved to] had any sort of support, I would simply stick with that.

Setting a UTC Timezone
Scenario: The hosting company is in country W; the data center is in timezone X; the customer is in country Y; and their users are in country Z.
What timezone should you use for your server? Perhaps you should try Universal Co-ordinated Time (UTC).
vi /etc/sysconfig/clock and change the UTC line to: "UTC=true"
Set localtimezone to UTC: ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/UTC /etc/localtime
If you want to set your timezone to something else, perhaps your personal timezone, then you
find that timezone under /usr/share/zoneinfo and link that to /etc/localtime. For example:
ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/Australia/Brisbane /etc/localtime.
