    Okay let say I have a site on bigcommerce and would like to add a wordpress blog. Big commerce do not allow installation on on their site. So I have to buy a separate hosting. Now I have another domain+server for my wordpress blog

    big commerce asked to create some kind of alias..

    blog . mydomain . com for mywordpressblog . com

    from research I found the tutorial how to setup for a wordpess . com (they charge $13 for that) blog but if I have my own blog I can't find any clue for that.. any one can help?

    Suppose you use a domain xyz.com with bigcommerce.
    Now in your domain control panel you can create a sub domain blog.xyz.com
    Purchase a hosting where wordpress installation is allowed.
    Then make blog.xyz.com point to your new web host (You'll get IP and other details from host)
    Add blog.xyz.com to your host.
    Install Wordpress using cpanel on blog.xyz.com
    You are done.

    Is this what you wanted? To create a subdomain and point it to a host there are some tutorials available if you search in Google
