Answer 1

We should probably need more data about it, but it could be that nothing is wrong here, it depends how you set and get back your date.

Basically 1443567600000 doesn't contains timezone. It represent Tue Sep 29 2015 23:00:00 from Greenwich. It's a moment in time that, of course, it different from any location that has a different timezone. The same moment, happens at different time (the midnight of GMT+1 is the 11pm of GMT).

You have to store both the time and the timezone in your DB, and possibly send back to JS, otherwise it will be always interpreted differently depends by the local time of the client.

To make an example:

var d = new Date(2015, 8, 30);
console.log(d.toJSON()); // In my case I got "2015-09-29T22:00:00.000Z"
console.log(d.toDateString()); // "Wed Sep 30 2015"
