How to change time/timezone on your vps

Solution
We manage the vps time via ntp on the hardware node and it does not need changing.
For changing your timezone, you can setup the correct symlink to the timezone you want to /etc/localtime

For example for GMT, add the following symlink:

ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/GMT /etc/localtime
