It looks like the domain might not be resolving yet - try to use the server name instead for the time being (should be listed in the welcome e-mail).

When you say email.com are you using your actual email address as the user name? The username for FTP is the same as your cPanel login, at least for the main account. If you did create a second account with that username then that would be valid.

From what you've pasted that is my only guess that it's a username / password authentication error. If you contact our support desk (https://support.hawkhost.com) and provide us with the exact hostname, username and password you're using to connect we can attempt to replicate the issues ourselves + look into why it isn't working.

The only thing you should be using your email address as the username for is our helpdesk at https://support.hawkhost.com and our client area at https://my.hawkhost.com/clientarea.php. When logging into cPanel (http://yourdomain.com/cpanel or http://yourdomain.com:2082) the username would have been provided to your in your new account information email, and it's usually a variation of the first letters of your accounts primary domain name. That is what you should be using as the username for logging into FTP, and not your email address.
