How do I change the timezone on my account?

All of our web hosting servers are set to the New York Timezone (Eastern Time -0400 UTC).  Occasionally, clients will have scripts that require a timezone local to them.  Unfortunately we cannot change the entire server’s timezone, therefore we have provided this alternative method.

You can change the timezone for your account or for a specific folder by adding this rule to your .htaccess file:

SetEnv TZ Timezone

For example, if you wish to change the timezone to Asia’s Bangkok area, you should add this line to your .htaccess file:

SetEnv TZ Asia/Bangkok

This way your scripts will use your local time instead of the server time.
