public website and internal AD name are the same
Hello.
I have a Windows domain that is named abc.com, that is also the name of the externally hosted website. As you can probably guess, the internal users can not access the website. How do I resolve this issue?

Can you give a detailed explanation of exactly what to do?

What Mas has presented would be what was already in place. Your clients are going to go out to the Internet and then back into your network. The is going to create added WAN traffic which will slow down performance.

As i stated in my second post this is by design. Because you do not have an internal Split DNS you will ALWAYS go external to contact your website. There are some work-a-rounds in my first link i posted to get around this issue but if you simply create a host record for this, those are the results you are stuck with.

If I understand correctly your website is hosted outside.
Am I right?
