How do we determine what time it is?

Our hosting provider uses various time servers to determine the current time. Time servers use atomic clocks (via radio) or GPS signals and can be found in universities and other public institutions across the world.

Our server uses the time servers' information and sets its internal clock to the official time - and this is the clock we use. That's how you can always see what time it is.

Who sets the official time?

In the United Kingdom, the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, London, is responsible to set the official time: The Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). More info on this topic on Wikipedia.
