SSH Access to Arcane Hostnet.nl

To access Hostnet.nl based servers via SSH you might hit an error where SSH terminal feedback tells you that their offer is `ssh-rsa`:

ssh user@ny9xxxx.lb.shared.prod.hostnet.nl
Unable to negotiate with xx.xxx.x.xx port 22: no matching host key type found. Their offer: ssh-rsa

The issue then issue that your SSH environment and key used is too modern for them. You should then use

ssh -o HostKeyAlgorithms=+ssh-rsa -o PubkeyAcceptedAlgorithms=+ssh-rsa user@ny9xxxx.lb.shared.prod.hostnet.nl

that will then allow you to log into their outdated system .

P.S. Kudos to Genymotion for the solution.
