I am asking my hosting service about this, but I'd like a second opinion.

My website's web server is in Texas, Central Time, and I live in the East Coast.
I found strange that if I reteieve the web server's current log (the one still inprocess for the day),
I find that the last entries have a time 4 hour LATER that my own Eastern Time, when
those entries should be an hour EARLIER.  So far, the company has told me that the server's
time is not off. So, why the logs' time could be so off? 


Eduardo,

Your servers are running on GMT. During Daylight savings EDT is GMT-0400, CDT is GMT-0500. After daylight savings ends (31 October) there will be 5 hours different for EST (GMT-0500) and 6 for your servers (GMT-0600).

By using GMT, the servers never need to change during daylight savings and the time standard is easily figured throughout the world.
