Adding the domain to the username is indeed very common with hosting
providers. I don't think I've used one that didn't do it. In that case, you
need to encode the @ symbol:

ftp://kurt%40myhost.com@myhost.com

This would set the username to ''.

On a related topic, if tigerflag.com allows SSH access, then using 'fish'
instead of 'ftp' is another option. Just 'fish://tigerflag.com' would pop up
a dialog for username and password (the same used to ssh in) and from then
on, you can interact with all the remote files as if they were local.
