Am getting "h**p://staff.x10hosting.com/default.web.page/" instead of site.

After many trials and many errors I still don't really know whats going on. After installing and uninstalling WordPress several times (couldn't make up my mind) I decided to just throw a splash page up there and go to bed, but kept getting that error. Mind you the last time I tried uninstalling WordPress was manually, probably a bad idea. Also the first time I tried installing it was manually. So eventually I tried nuking the entire directory from root and installing WordPress from Softaculous, but now even WordPress is getting that error. Also some weird errors I was getting while trying to install WordPress the last time is that it was saying my mysql directory already existed even thow I deleted it. So now I'm really just confused as to what is happening.

Additional info
I never got anything but WordPress to load.
I can get into the WordPress dashboard, but that is it.
I'm sure this isn't a WordPress problem, but it may have caused it(the installing and uninstalling).
After remembering that I needed to upload the index_files folder for my index.html place holder page.. nothing changed.
My site is mingusbronyfederation.pcriot.com
The only errors logged that I saw that weren't related missing images were related to the .htaccess file.
Before I nuked the directory I got difernt errors by adding www. and /index.html/ to the url.

New Info
Making a new directory in public_html (/testhere/) and putting my temporary index.htm splash page there, then going to .../testhere/ worked.
Which most likely means public_html specifically is having errors.
[also, is edit post broken or something?]

Clear your browser cache, flush dns, and then restart the browser before trying to reload the main page - that default.web.page thing tends to stick in browser cache without clearing itself in a timely fashion. The page should be working fine by now, it loaded fine here.

Gaa! Devilishly simple solution. At least now I know nuking the directory wont break it. I didn't think it should have. I'm just really trying to experiment with difernt site types and having a WordPress side means I can export and re-import the majority of the content if I have to start from scratch again.
