Wow this is really cool, thanks for making it free as it seems really handy, one question though, is there a way to get op to use commands for creative mode etc? Also my skin doesn't seem to load on the server for some reason but it's not the end of the world. Thanks.

Thanks for trying it out! Op commands are disabled because I haven't gotten around to making every user admin by default. I also remember some vague security concerns on the back of my head ;D. It would be cooler if I could also let you change the game mode from the web interface.

As for the skins - servers run in "offline mode", which means no communication with the Microsoft authentication API responsible for validating accounts and (I believe) giving skins to players.
