Hi, I wanted to know if they could help me solve the following drawback.

Service proftpd start:
PROFTPD FAILD

Log:

It's trying to reverse lookup what it thinks is your hostname "204-45-252-122.firehosted.com" and failing. You either need to fix your DNS or add that to your hosts file or amend the proftpd config so it doesn't try to use that hostname (no idea how!).

TrevorH gave you the solution.
Fix your DNS or fix your hosts file so that it has your machines IP address associated with your FQDN.

If you are going to run unsupported software on CentOS you need to have a basic proficiency with Linux.
CentOS ships vsftpd not proftpd. Why are you not running vsftpd?
