Keep old az-toys site active for 1 month & request domain control panel access for az-toys.pl — explanation for a 12-year-old

Short summary (simple)

We need to do two things right away:

1. Pay the attached invoice so the old az-toys website stays online for one more month (Mr Bulatsky already knows).
2. Ask the Polish company that helped buy az-toys.pl to give us access to the domain control panel and tell us whether Polish law says how long the old site must show a transfer notice (and what that notice should say).

Step-by-step plan (what to do next)

1. Finance: pay the attached invoice immediately so the old site remains active for the extra month.
2. Send the message to the Polish domain company asking for control panel access and legal advice (template provided below).
3. Technical team: prepare the new domain (az-toys.pl) for launch — update DNS, arrange SSL, and prepare redirects if needed. Keep the old site’s transfer notice visible until we confirm how long it must stay there.
4. Once the Polish company replies with access and legal guidance, follow their instructions and update the notice text on the old site (use the sample wording if they don’t require something specific).

Quick checklist for the technical team (simple)

• Confirm old site stays live and that invoice payment will be made.
• Prepare DNS records for az-toys.pl: A/AAAA or CNAME records and TTL settings.
• Obtain and install an SSL certificate for az-toys.pl (Let’s Encrypt is usually fine).
• Decide redirect strategy: either a full 301 redirect from old domain to new, or a transfer notice page with a link to az-toys.pl for the agreed time.
• Check email settings (MX records) so no company emails break when domains change.
• Keep a copy of credentials and the domain control panel access safe and share with the right people.

Template 1 — Internal email to Finance (pay the invoice)

Subject: Payment required — Invoice to keep old az-toys website active

Hi Finance Team,

We have run into technical issues while launching the new website, so we must keep the old az-toys site active for one more month. The invoice to extend or keep the old site active is attached. Mr Bulatsky is aware and approves this payment.

Could you please process payment for the attached invoice as soon as possible so the old site remains online? Please confirm when payment is done and send a receipt/copy of the payment.

Thank you,
The Web Team

Subject: Request — access to az-toys.pl control panel & advice on transfer notice

Dear [Company Name] Team,

We are preparing to launch our new website using the domain az-toys.pl. We would be grateful if you could help with two urgent items:

1. Please provide access to the az-toys.pl domain control panel (login URL and account credentials or instructions to create/manage access). If additional authorization or documents are required from our side (e.g., power of attorney, ID, company documents), please tell us exactly what is needed and how to send them.
2. We need your advice about how long the old website should display a notice about the website transfer that links to az-toys.pl. Specifically:
   • Does Polish law or any regulation require a minimum period for such transfer notices?
   • If yes, please state the required duration and the legal reference (law or regulation).
   • If no, please recommend a reasonable period (e.g., 1 month, 3 months) and explain your recommendation.

Could you also provide a short suggested notice text in Polish and English that we can put on the old site (if you have a preferred legal wording, that would be very helpful)?

For context: we will keep the old az-toys website active for about one month while we finish the migration. Please treat this as urgent and let us know the expected timeline for your reply and for giving access to the control panel.

Thank you — looking forward to your prompt response.

Best regards,

Temat: Prośba — dostęp do panelu zarządzania domeną az-toys.pl oraz porada w sprawie informacji o przeniesieniu strony

Szanowni Państwo,

Przygotowujemy się do uruchomienia nowej strony pod domeną az-toys.pl. Prosimy o pomoc w dwóch pilnych sprawach:

1. Prosimy o udostępnienie dostępu do panelu zarządzania domeną az-toys.pl (adres logowania i dane do konta lub instrukcje, jak uzyskać dostęp). Jeśli potrzebne są dodatkowe upoważnienia lub dokumenty z naszej strony (np. pełnomocnictwo, dane firmy), prosimy o informację, jakie dokumenty i w jaki sposób je dostarczyć.
2. Prosimy o informację, jak długo stara strona powinna wyświetlać informację o przeniesieniu strony z linkiem do nowej domeny. Konkretnie:
   • Czy polskie prawo lub inne regulacje określają minimalny czas takiej informacji?
   • Jeśli tak, prosimy o wskazanie wymaganego czasu i podstawy prawnej.
   • Jeśli nie, prosimy o rekomendację rozsądnego czasu (np. 1 miesiąc, 3 miesiące) i uzasadnienie.

Prosimy także o krótką propozycję treści informacji w języku polskim i angielskim, którą moglibyśmy zamieścić na starej stronie (jeśli dysponują Państwo wzorem prawnie preferowanej treści, prosimy o jej przesłanie).

Dla kontekstu: planujemy utrzymać starą stronę az-toys aktywną przez około miesiąc w celu dokończenia migracji. Prosimy o pilną odpowiedź oraz informację o czasie potrzebnym na udostępnienie dostępu do panelu.

Z góry dziękujemy i pozdrawiamy,
[Twoje imię]

Suggested notice text for the old website (short and clear)

English:

'We have moved to a new website: az-toys.pl. For the next few weeks this old site will remain available. Please visit our new site for the latest information.'

Polish (proposed):

'Przenieśliśmy się na nową stronę: az-toys.pl. Przez najbliższe tygodnie ta stara strona będzie dostępna. Zapraszamy na naszą nową stronę po najnowsze informacje.'

Notes about legal timing

I cannot give binding legal advice. The Polish company (registrar) may know if any local rules apply. Common practice is to keep a transfer notice and/or redirects for at least 30 days to help users and search engines find the new site. In some industries or for certain legal notices, longer periods may be recommended. Please ask the Polish company to confirm whether any specific Polish legal requirement exists.

If you want, I can:

• Check and improve the exact wording of the notice if the Polish company suggests a legal text.
• Prepare a short instruction list for the technical team on how to set 301 redirects or a temporary notice page.
• Translate any reply from the Polish company into English.

If you’d like, I can send the above emails for you (copy-ready). Tell me which names, contact emails, and attachments to include.
