  If I upgrade, do I own my domain name and can take it with me should I leave?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Yes and yes.

  Your content stays exactly where it is now and all that changes is the URLs. When the old sub domain URLs are clicked viewers are seamlessly redirected to the same content under the new domain URLs.

  You can upgrade at any time. Note that wordpress.com hosting is free of charge. These are free features https://wordpress.com/features/

  There are no monthly payment plans. We are billed annually and must pay up front at the time of purchase.

  See https://wordpress.com/pricing/

  Note that each upgrade bundle applies to a single blog only and is for a single year only when it is due to be renewed.

  We all pay in full for every upgrade at the time of purchase. Make sure you read the comparison very closely do you know exactly what the restrictions and limitations on WordPress.COM blogging are: http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
