 * Your plugin looks very popular and I want to use it on my website as well.
    However,
   my hosting company disables all exec() / exec.php or url_fopen functions. The
   hosting company supports CURL as an alternative to url_fopen. Do you mind telling
   me if your plugin uses exec() / exec.php or url_fopen functions or CURL? Thank
   you for support!

 * No, it doesn’t use them. Why not just try it? It’s free.
