Using your domain (mydomain.com) on a self-hosted WordPress site means you will need to use plugins that are designed to help you with optimization.
All of that is already built in and taken care of for you when your site is hosted on WordPress.com (myname.wordpress.com).
If you use a domain name from the start (mydomain.com) and map it to your WordPress.com site, it will also have a lot of google juice.
