Can't Activate Theme in Wordpress

I recently transferred my site from wordpress.com (www.whatsonoshawa.com) to InMotion, and I purchased a theme to update the site. The theme file appears in File Manager in wordpress-content/themes folder, and all of the files for the theme are there, but I can't activate it. I've followed the tutorials about adding themes and when I log into Wordpress through my cPanel, the option for uploading a new file isn't there. My site appears the same as it did when hosted through wordpress.com.

I believe I've missed a step or two in the process, I'm just not sure where. Can you assist?

Hello, Sorry to hear you are having issues with your theme in WordPress. I looked at the site and see the theme is named 'Suburbia'. I then looked into your files and see a different theme. The site itself is still pointed to WordPress.com so that is why you are seeing the old theme. You will need to point the domain to our name servers in order to see what is on the server here.
