Can someone please advise the best option for me.
I've built a new site at x10host.com/nz/... and I want to point my domain name at that. I'm currently waiting for DNS to update but I noticed that when I try to setup an addon domain the interface says the doc root will be public_html/mydomain.comand I want it to be public_html/nz/mydomain.com

Any advice would be appreciated
Cheers
Bruce

I would go with add-on domain.
Note that in the path part where it would auto-complete, you can specify the precise path you would like by pressing on that field.

Cheers, I've done that but the site wont display now?
the site is nonevents.co.nz and its still showing at the old wordpress.com site instead of the new x10hosted site?

Interesting. Have you tried re-adding the domain, typing the path manually and then pressing the correct path you want to choose below the path text box that appears yellow (public_html/nz/mydomain.com)? Perhaps you'll need to select the option it ends up giving you just before finishing off the path to apply correctly.

I've now parked the domain and setup a redirect to the /nz folder but still no luck, any advice would be appreciated.

Seems to work for me.
Clear your browser cache, etc

Then you will have to go to your script admin area and change the "site url" to your new domain, since all your wordpress links point to the x10host.com domain.
