and sell domains via WooCommerce.
 You can embed the checker using a shortcode or
with the included Elementor widget.

 * Works with and without Elementor.

#### Pro features (upgrade)

The Pro version unlocks premium features such as:

### External services

This plugin can interact with the following external services.

#### 1) Hostingforall websites (link-outs in FREE plugin)

The FREE plugin includes optional admin-area links to Hostingforall pages (for example:
upgrade and demo links). These links are used to open product/demo pages when a 
site owner clicks them.

Data sent: standard browser request data (such as IP address, user agent, referrer,
and requested URL).
 When sent: only when a user clicks one of these links. Service
provider: Hostingforall. Terms of Service: https://hostingforall.nl/algemene-voorwaarden/
Privacy Policy: https://hostingforall.nl/privacy

#### 2) WhoisFreaks API (optional, separate PRO plugin only)

The separate PRO plugin can optionally connect to the WhoisFreaks API to perform
real-time domain availability checks.

Data sent: the searched domain name (and API authentication data configured by the
site owner in PRO).
 When sent: only when a visitor submits a domain lookup and 
the site owner has enabled the API method in PRO settings. Service provider: WhoisFreaks.

## FAQ

### Does the free version require a license key?

## Changelog

#### 4.6.0

 * Internal release roll-up: includes recent security/compliance hardening and FREE/
   PRO dependency safety improvements.

   bulk plugin actions).

#### 4.5.16

 * Compliance hardening: removed remaining direct `$_REQUEST` checks in request 
   helpers.
 * Compliance hardening: replaced `FILTER_DEFAULT` request array reads with explicit

   single and bulk plugin actions).

   FREE plugin row when PRO is active.

   variants.
