Does other have SSH issues?

When I tried to connect to SSH on s4.serv00.com, I was prompted for a password instead of being asked to use a key. However, when I entered my account password, it was rejected, and I was asked for the password again. After several attempts, my IP address was blocked by the Serv00 firewall.

Oops, it's because of the MaxAuthTries which defaults to six attempts. The SSH client can't find the key after that many attempts. Specifying the private key explicitly solves this issue.
