well, if both the domain are yours you just have to redirect the XYZ.COM to ABC.COM.

So if someone types xyz.com he will be forced to go to abc.com, you can do that with a code or sometimes by your domain control panel.

CODE

You can even set the time, you can aslo use Javascript but if they disabled it... they wont be redirected, i think it can be done via htaccess too but i dunno how.

Than there is an other technique using an iframe and that is if you do not own the website.
You add an iframe :

CODE

So once you are on the xyz.com site it will set an iframe with the abc.com content in it. Problem is no urls will work your url will always stay xyz.com. Plus if you want to iframe a site... probably means that you do not own it so the author would mind i think !

When it comes to iframe, it is a pain in the but. I would recommend you go with the Meta tag, but if you want to continue with iframe, you can do what Mr. T did or try the following

CODE

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
   "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>

<head>
  <title>Web-site Title Here</title>
  <META name="description" content="Put your description here">
  <META name="keywords" content="keywords go here, separated by a comma,">
</head>
<frameset rows="100%,*" border="0">
  <frame src="http://yourlinkhere.com/location_of_page" frameborder="0" />
  <frame frameborder="0" noresize />
</frameset>
