Save your site with the name index or index.html. Browsers look for an index.htm or index.html file and load this file automatically so you can just specify the domain name. Other than that what you show is correct. But as it stands now you would have to enter the domain name + the 8th_ankh.htm to load your site. If you use index.htm or index.html then you can load the site with the domain name only.

The simplest way to do this is to name your home page index or index.html (see attached)

By default, if you name your home page index, xara will append .htm to all your HTML pages.

But also give your home page an appropriate title (Page Title) because this is one of the things search engines look for. You can use up to 12 words so something like AtoZ - Everything for the hobbyist from A to Z instead of Home.

Your site is at:

http://8thankh.com/index.htm

Your site was http://www.8thankh.com/8th_ankh.htm.
Change your first page in Xara from 8th_ankh to index.

If you must use 8th_ankh then you have server-side settings to change.
Most sites are configured to look for index.htm(l) but you can change this.
