NTP adjusts slowly, as your clock is 6+ hours off, you should force the
timesync first, eg with with rdate (apt-get install rdate):

rdate -v ntp.xs4all.nl

should do the trick. Then after that make sure that ntpd is running:
/etc/init.d/ntp restart

UTC is a timezone, and having that is great as it avoids all the
pitfalls and annoyances with summer/winter time.

Note that some VPSs do not allow changing of the time, one will have to
ask the host to set the time.

Do note that a VPS can be inspected and controlled easily by the Host,
as such, make sure that you trust that operator.
