How do I know what time it is on this site? And what time zone is the time following?

Hello! The IC (in-character) portion of the site moves in real-time. So January 15th for you will be January 15th for your character. However, OOC (out-of character) site mechanics follow Paris time, which control bean spawn locations, weekly house points rewards, etc.

An exception to the real-time rule is backdating threads. Although it is Jan 15 2023, I can write back to my character's first day September 1 2022. Forward dating can only be done up to one month in the future, however. Just ensure that dating is done carefully to avoid timeline inconsistencies with your character. We have a handy mentor system here if you'd like a better hand getting used to HiO.
