Multiple Domain Names with one installation

I understand the multi-store concept but this is what I am trying to do. I have a company and we are going to sell products. All sales will go through that company, abc.com. Then we will have landing pages for different solutions/products, xyz.com. When the user selects a product it will be driven though abc.com ecommerce engine.

My question is if I point xyz.com to the same IP address as abc.com will it work?

Or should I install OpenCart to a sub-dir (abc.com/shop) and then use xyz.com as a landing page? For this scenario how would xyz.com know about the products in abc.com OpenCart install?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

As long as you have all of your URL's running under the same (usually anyway and already xx-times SHARED) IP, this means, that you usually have ALL Your Site Files within the same SERVER / PATH / YOURSITES / YOURWEBS/... Owner-Directory as well. So, it does not really matter, where you'll place the Shops.

I use::
/host/users/jacob/www/
web_a
web_b
web_c
web_d

and, during my Tests, I use one or more Shops under web_a, and the Image (Subdomain) URL under web_b,
commonly used by:
one or more Shops under web_b (with Image Subdomain web_b)
(DEFAULT OC Image Call always makes it HARDER/SLOWER ON BROWSERS!)
one or more Shops under web_c (with Image Subdomain web_b)
one or more Shops under web_d (with Image Subdomain web_b)
as well, internally, since all SITE's use a COMMON internal Server Path, with all Access Rights, given, to those 'Users', by default. By external Call (href) image calls, it works anyway. Just to mention it...

I have one shop under
http://www.bigmax.ch/shop/
http://www.bigmax.ch/cart/
they use different DB's, so, this is no Multi-Store Concept, but basically, there is no difference, I assume..., since I never tried Multi-Store Technique yet in person...!

Good Luck, kind of hard to expain, for a Swiss...
