WARNING: REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED!

When you reset the operating system used on your vps or make changes that change core settings within the vps, you typically get the above error:

WARNING: REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION CHANGED!

to fix this error type the following command in terminal

ssh-keygen -R hostname

Replace the hostname with the ip address of your vps

for example: 00.000.00.0
