If I log in with 'ssh 213.171.194.64' I, correctly, get prompted for

However if I try 'ssh isbd.biz' I get prompted for "[email protected]'s
password" which doesn't exist and I can't log in.
'host isbd.biz' returns the correct IP address for isbd.biz so why
does ssh not work using the name rather than the IP address?
Increase the verbosity on the SSH client and see the difference between
using the IP and the DNS name.
Look in the SSH server's logs for clues.
