Domain Name Repeating

For some reason my domain name repeats on all pages of my iWeb site. Purchased domain through GoDaddy. Not sure why this is happening.

Example- When I enter my url as www.domain.com and the page loads it changes to www.domain.com/domain.com/home.html

No idea why this happens and the repeated domain name happens on every page of my site- not a huge deal but looks like an error so i would like to correct it.

Admittedly a novice in the DNS and directory world so any advice on fixing this would be appreciated. FYI - publishing site through iWeb to godaddy hosting.

thanks

Yes, it's a pure mystery.

But if you look carefully at your screen, you'll notice that the first part is your domainname, the second part is your sitename, and the third part is your pagename.

The sitename characters are the ones you typed yourself.

If you do not like them, type other charachters.

Here's a very technical solution to avoid the sitename in the URL :
