Hi I fix this on one vps service, restarting it, other way is if you have a console from your service o any other way to run a command in your remote machine the only command you must run is restart the ssh daemon and enjoy!! :P

/etc/init.d/ssh restart

Got the same error too when connecting to GitHub with ssh as I move from one workplace to another. according to my situation, it seems that dns servers of different networks may get various ip address of github and the known_hosts file not identify it when changes happened. So change dns or switch back original network may work.
