Login to your DigitalOcean Control Panel and make sure that your droplet's Status is "Active."

Are you able to log in to your droplet through the Remote Console? If so, run these commands once you're in and you should be able to SSH into it: 

rm /etc/ssh/ssh_host_*

/usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure openssh-server
