What it would take me to pay for a premium service
-
1. Something in between $0 “free” level and the $100 level. I don’t need all the stuff in the $100/yr level.
2. Add more formatting tools, like maybe inserting graphic tables with custom borders, fill/shading, etc.
3. Settings should “stick” (every time I go into the console it asks me again the same questions about new or classic editor, etc.)
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
-
There is no bundle of upgrade that is in the 0$ and $100%$ range.

There is no such upgrade.

Settings are cookie dependent. Delete the cookie and they will not be stored.

WordPress.com provides free blogs and hosts them free of charge. There are no bandwidth charges. All WordPress.com blogs come with 3000 megabytes (~3 GBs) of space for storing uploaded files and images. Free features are listed here https://en.wordpress.com/features/
See here for details of all 3 plans http://store.wordpress.com/bundles/ offered by WordPress.com.
Premium bundle details http://store.wordpress.com/plans/premium/
Business bundle details http://store.wordpress.com/plans/business/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.
Read Important Notes Before Upgrading http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/#important-notes-before-upgrading
Also note that premium theme purchases apply to a single blog only and are for the lifetime of the blog while hosted by WordPress.COM, and the Premium upgrade does not include any premium themes. http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/premium-themes/
Neither the free plan and the Premium plan do not allow you to upload your own themes or plugins. WordPress.com blogs cannot be equipped for eCommerce transactions unless they have the $299. per year Business upgrade. https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/ecommerce-is-now-available-on-wordpresscom?replies=1

There are two old Stats pages and they are both available from the classic dashboard. You can go directly to the classic dashboard by logging in here: https://wordpress.com/wp-login.php?.
The old Stats pages are
1. https://YourWeirdWebsiteName.wordpress.com/wp-admin/index.php?page=stats (really old, “classic”). Link is found in the dashboard admin panel in the “Dashboard” drop-down menu (clock symbol).
2. https://wordpress.com/my-stats/ (kinda old, “super classic”). The link for the “old Stats” page with the map is through the classic dashboard, then click “View All” on the Stats module.
Or just add a bookmark to a bookmarks toolbar.
https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/stats-classics-how-to-set?replies=198#post-2166339For bookmarking the other classic admin pages too note what follows.
Classic Notifications Page: https://wordpress.com/notifications/
Classic Editor is cookie dependent, so you must click to use the classic editor (link at the bottom of the Beep Boop, too-blue editor) and it will last until you delete your cookies. I also suggest bookmarking this link: https://thenameofyourblog.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post-new.php replace with the name of your blog, obviously.

I’ve tested this on Google Chrome 37, 39, 40, IE 11, and IE12 on 8 different computers. Three are AD domain members. Five are workgroup computers. The settings do not “stick” ever. I’ve checked caching and cookies and privacy controls and security zones and everything. No matter what, every time I log into WordPress it defaults to the legacy editor UI and asks if I want to switch to the “new” UI.
As for the $0 to $100, what I meant is that there’s a set of features for the “Free” level, and the next jump is the $99/year or whatever. I’d like $20 or $50 / year with a bit less than the $99/year level. I don’t need all the stuff the $99/year level offers. I’d never use it. That’s all.
I like WP, but I work with a lot of different sites/services/hosts for various customers. Most of them would work fine with something in between the “free” and $99/yr feature set. In any case, just sharing my thoughts. Sorry to offend anyone.

You can purchase a separate domain mapping upgrade. Your content stays exactly where it is. All that changes is the URL. What domain mapping does its create a seamless transfer between the underlying .wordpress.com blog URLs to the domain URLs no matter where they are on the internet. Visitors who click the underlying .wordpress.com blog URLs will be seamlessly redirected to the exact same content under the domain URLs.
Please read Domains: Important Notes Before Upgrading http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/
All that changes when you are domain mapping is the URL and nothing else. The content stays exactly where it is. Payment methods are found at http://en.support.wordpress.com/payment/
In order to map to a domain one must have an underlying .wordpress.com subdomain blog to map from, and the domain name you desire must be available for purchase, or you must already own the domain URL.
You must be logged in as Admin http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#administrator under the exact same username account that registered the blog to access the blog’s dashboard at > Store > My Upgrades to purchase upgrades for the blog.
See here if you do not own a domain http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/
See here for mapping an existing domain that you already own http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/
if you already have a website you don’t want to affect, and you want to add a blog to it under a subdomain (for example, blog.yourgroovydomain.com) see here http://support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/map-subdomain/
After you do the primary blog set up it can take between 24 – 72 hours for domain name propagation to take place throughout the internet. You can view the DNS changes here > http://www.whatsmydns.net/ What’s important during that stage is to be patient.
If you succeed at purchasing the domain mapping upgrade it will be reflected at these two spots:
Dashboard > Store > My Upgrades
http://en.support.wordpress.com/my-upgrades/Dashboard > Store > Billing History

Did you previously click “Switch to classic mode” link in the bottom right-hand corner of the editor (example: http://d.pr/i/fCx1)?
Can you navigate to the post editor and then follow these steps?
- Right-click the page and select “Inspect Element”
- Click Resources on the top of the Developer Tools
- Select “Cookies” and then “public-api.wordpress…” from the left-hand side
- Scroll to the bottom and let me know if wpcom_ioeditor_optout is set to “true” like this?

There is no bundle between the $0 and $99 options. You can, however, register a domain for $18 without signing up for a bundle.
-
If you move to a WordPress.org blog on paid hosting, you can expect to pay for the domain and at least $120 a year in hosting.

Register a domain name & domain map – so your blog will have the custom domain name when visitors visit your site
also since your account is several years old – you should be able to purchase individual upgrades without needing to buy the $99.-/yr bundle
