My question is related to the address of the site i've created.
Currently the address is
http://server/_layouts/15/start.aspx#/
Is this ok to use, or should it be something tidier? Is it possible to have something like the following?
http://server/start.aspx#/
Maybe in the great scheme of things it won't matter? I'm using SharePoint Foundation 2013.
It doesn't matter. You can try browse http://server/ and it will redirect to http://server/_layouts/15/start.aspx#/.
When you need the address to run sometimes (e.g. Connect with SharePoint Designer, run a PowerShell command, or send the URL to some user) always use http://server/, not http://server/_layouts/15/start.aspx#/ or http://server/start.aspx#/
If you don't want _layouts/15/start.aspx to be a part of your URL you need to deactivate Minimal Download Strategy feature available under Site Actions -> Manager Site Features
Your problem comes because of the Minimal Download Strategy feature. MDS (new in SP2013, and activated by default on every Team Site) is a real pain the ass. You can deactivate it on a per-site basis ("Site settings", "Manage Site Features" and disable "Minimal Download Strategy").
