public_html directory inside the username/public_html directory!? Confusion

I created my ftp account, then started having trouble seeing my index.html. I finally went through the File Manager and saw that the directory that my files were being uploaded to (which was public_html in my CS5 remote directory), was

/home/domain-username/public_html/username/public_html/index.html

Why would it put a public_html folder inside the username folder inside the original public_html folder where everything should go to in the first place? I don't recall changing anything to make it do that, and I've only had a few hours on it, so there should be no personal reason for this. I am a little irritated, but I will definitely appreciate any help given. Thanks in advance.

No, I haven't talked with my host, and I created one because I couldn't get the initial ftp account connected. Would it be a good idea to configure with the initial "Special FTP" account before creating a custom one? I just thought creating a personal one would be a better measure of the permitted access. I appreciate the quick reply by the way, thanks.

And now that I read your reply, heh, I see that the home directory of the account I created is the directory that I first mentioned...should've been easily seen, my fault on that for sure...and it took me a bit to even get access with my account I created, so it's probably the same reason I couldn't start with the initial ftp account...will try and update.
