At least when I deal with this all the time used in Web Application is the time machine using this site, regardless of the time that this server.
But you may need to configure Global.asax.vb (or just Global.asax)
With the following line:

VB

Public nfi2 As CultureInfo = CultureInfo.InvariantCulture

And when using the data, you can use the value of local culture machine.
example:

VB

Date.ParseExact(TextBoxDate.Text.Trim(), "d/M/yyyy", nfi2)

Always store DateTime.UtcNow rather than DateTime.Now. So that you will get a Universal Time irrespective of the location.

Read this for more details about UTC.

While retrieving/displaying, calculate Local time using CurrentTimeZone and UtcOffset to get the actual time based on the location.

Read this for more details about UTC Offset.
