I have reason to believe I've either been banned or hacked, how can I know for sure?

What happens when you try to login?
If your account were hacked, I would expect your login to fail, just like it does if you mistype your password.
I think you are supposed to get some kind of notification email if you get banned.
It might be a problem somewhere in your DDO installation or on your computers. A web search on "DDO error 0x80004005" turned up some support links like these:

I've had reasonable success submitting technical support tickets. You can submit an out-of-game ticket here
If you think you account has been hacked, you could try resetting your password.
If you think you may have been banned, you could try a PM to Cordovan and ask if that is the case.
If you think it is something else, you could put in a support ticket.
From your thread title, it appears that you know you've been banned, rather than that you are trying to figure out a strange login problem.
