You can create multiple websites or store views in Magento 2 admin panel and map unique domains to each of them.

Step 1: Point all domains to pub in Magento's root directory

Step 2: Configure domain names as base URLs for each website in System Configuration in Magento admin panel.

Step 3: Set store or website for each domain as environment variable in .htaccess of pub directory or in the webserver configuration.

Example with the websites as given in the question:

SetEnv MAGE_RUN_TYPE website
SetEnvIf Host abc\.com MAGE_RUN_CODE=domain1
SetEnvIf Host xyz\.com MAGE_RUN_CODE=domain2

Example with store views instead of websites
```
SetEnv MAGE_RUN_TYPE store
SetEnvIf Host abc\.com MAGE_RUN_CODE=store_code_1
SetEnvIf Host xyz\.com MAGE_RUN_CODE=store_code_2
```
These configurations check if the domain contains "abc.com" or "xyz.com", which I find useful to also match subdomains or test systems like abc.com.testserver.com or test.abc.com, using the same .htaccess file. If you want exact matching, replace abc\.com with ^abc\.com$

Step 4: Clear cache and access your domains.

Magento 1.9 – Setup Multiple Websites on Different Domains

You can find how to setup multiple storefronts on one Magento installation by following: http://www.ecommercegorilla.com/how-to-set-up-multiple-store-fronts-with-magento/

This method works for any store post Magento CE 1.4

Look to the end of the article you will see there are two methods, one that uses separate directories for each domain and a second method that allows you to use pointer domains.

If you are looking to have customers checkout on the store domain and not one shared domain under SSL you will want to use the separate directories method. It describes how to setup the symbolic links so the store will properly pull files and how to modify the the index.php of each store to assign the correct website/store code.
