Use of domain names

    If we purchase a domain name (as in BlogName.com rather than BlogName.wordpress.com), does this have any difference for the viewers’ experience?

    Namely, does this mean anyone is allowed to leave comments? Or, is this still restricted to those who have WordPress accounts?

    WP.com: Yes
    Correct account: Yes

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

    Having a free site with an address ending in .wordpress.com or having an upgraded plan to use a custom domain makes no difference to your ability to enable/disable comments on a site. It just depends on your personal choice

    Who Can Comment
    You can allow only registered WordPress.com users to comment, or you can allow anyone to comment. If you allow anyone to comment, you can choose whether the name and email fields are required or not.
    These options are available on the Settings → Discussion screen:
