We don't yet know the location of the server, but even better you can 
find out what time zone it's set to by logging in via SSH and running:

date +%Z

If you're running the convert command on the server I think you'll find 
the converted output differs from your local conversion by the number of 
time zones between you and the server.

I took the time to write this, maybe worth reading and trying the 
exercise I included near the end:
