  Hi there. This support article documents what upgrades are included in the $99 Bundle: https://en.support.wordpress.com/bundles/

  Purchasing the Bundle does not enable you to upload third-party themes because themes can’t be uploaded to WordPress.com. That’s a feature of self-hosted blogs through WordPress.org.

  You can choose from over 200 themes we offer: http://theme.wordpress.com/

  With regards to customization, you can find more details about how your Custom Design upgrade works here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/

  The Custom Design allows you to customize fonts, colors, and CSS.

  Let me know if you need further assistance with your blog!

  so am i correct in understanding I should buy server space to up load my own themes and use custom email features? so does the 99 just buy the domain name?

  Uploading themes is a feature of self-hosted blogs through WordPress.org. If you wish to use third-party themes, you’ll need a self-hosted WordPress account.

  To clear up any confusion, WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two different entities. Please check out the following links to learn the differences.
  http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
  http://get.wp.com/

  This support article covers adding your own email: https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/add-email/

  The $99 Bundle includes a domain name credit, extra space, no ads, custom design, and VideoPress. More details here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/bundles/ Also with a paid upgrade on WordPress.com, you get access to support from Happiness Engineers. For a self-hosted WordPress blog, you have more flexibility, but also more responsibility, typically with higher annual cost and support via community forums (or you’ll need to hire professional help).
