Yes you can purchase the token in the website but this is more risky because most of the ICO were scam. It is better that you purchase on the exchange or an IEO but before to buy the token make sure that you do your own research to the project. If you find suspicious then it's better to look other token.

If the token is already distributed then you can buy from any individual who have it but if the token is not available in exchange then what is the point of buying a worthless token.Also you can use marketplace section of bitcoiintalk.
Buying tokens to individuals is not safe, especially if someone does not know each other, surely the edges will be very fatal, so I personally prefer to buy on direct exchange because there is already clearly stated, both in price and in number.

It's possible to buy the same outside the exchange, these are ICO or Initial Coin Offering  token, it's not the same with IEO which is what people are usually investing now. In the past, there are sites that sells ICO tokens as they partners or accredited by the developers of the project, and it's easy to verify as we can always check the smart contract since most of the tokens in the past were built in Ethereum platform.

Things have really change these days, ICO is not anymore selling, maybe some sold their ICO but usually those are the very reputable project that were manage by well-known people in the business industry, but for regular ICO, they struggle to get their tokens sold as people have already matured now.

Lastly, please don't get confuse with IEO and ICO, make more research prior to investing in crypto.

Can the token of an ICO be purchased outside the Exchange (before its launch), that is, purchased on any website of the cryptocurrency itself or a website made exclusively for the sale of these tokens?

FD and ED were the two dex exchange you can get tokens of a project even before listing in an exchange, but lately those place have slowly died off or hunters don't bother to do that any more, the only other way will be p2p trade but this high risk because it is very easy to get scammed in this process, best bet is to wait and buy from exchange because their is a big chance the price will dump more than what you will get it before listing.
When OP not understand about ICO, you also follow him. Each ICO token is not listed on Exchange, decentralized or not. You can only buy ICO tokens on their official site. But for IEO tokens, maybe you could buy in FD or ED.

You may purchase some of the ICO I think only in the company, purchasing it in other person is not good, and not reliable. In IEO you may bought it directly in the exchange and can be trade instantly. I personally cannot recommend to buy coin outside the exchange or not directly to the company.

You can buy them from others in this market. But it will be very dangerous because they can become scammer at any time, be careful with this form. Ideally, you should go to trade and buy them, it will be a lot safer

It’s better not to buy tokens from some unknown people. these are very big risks. you can be scammed and you will lose your money. this happens very often. it’s better to just wait and buy after exchange listing.
I think buying coins with people you don't know is OK but at least there must be a trusted third person to do security transactions or often called escrow, many members here often do like that, so it's better to be careful when do transactions with anyone.
True, if you are buying from outside, always take a escrow service. In this way, you will at least save your money from being scammed. Trust my words and don't trust anyone. There are many smart scammers out there. Stay safe and stay alert!!

I agree with you to not to trust outsiders. It is always better to buy from Exchanges because there are many coins which never get listed on any exchange. Exchange listing at least gives you a platform where you can sell your coin whenever you need to cash out.. I have lost faith on any coins that are outside the exchange.. Don't ever fall for those coins. One will only loose money in those kind of coins.

Yes, and it's called private sale but ICO operates their selling on their own website (shady stuff, no 3rd party can verify,...) while IEO is only selling on exchange so maybe you got it wrong. Why would anyone need to purchase IEO token outside the exchange is beyond me.

Actually you have a small wrong in your question.ICO coins are not available in exchanges and ICO means Initial Coin Offering.To buy ICO coin you have to use own website from the project.

Again IEO coins are available to buy from an exchange where it is launched.And IEO means Initial
Exchange Offering which is not available to buy outside of exchange before launch.
So hope now you got proper answer regarding your question about ICO.
I totally agree with you. This is one of the proper answers for you if you are reading it Smiley Don't fall for any scam, stay safe and alert!!

yes the owner of the project are able to sell it to private investors.How it  works depends on the agreement of  both parties the owners of the project and the private investors that want to help them for funding.

Can the token of an ICO be purchased outside the Exchange (before its launch), that is, purchased on any website of the cryptocurrency itself or a website made exclusively for the sale of these tokens?

ICO means Initial Coin Offering and from the way it was designed, the token can be purchased from the website of the project in question. On the other hand is IEO which is Initial Exchange Offering, where the token of a project will be purchased directly from the exchange the IEO is taking place. Also, there have been projects that will be conducting an ICO of course selling their token on their website, list on exchange, start trading and still be selling their tokens on their website for certain time; this case scenario is not that much.

I really don't understand your question very well but here are two examples I've came across before.

1. Not long ago I saw a new project that launch ICO on their website and IEO on other two Exchanges so yes it's possible to buy coins on the website or outside the website

2. Last year I promoted a bounty project and bounty hunters were paid, ICO haven't even started yet, after some weeks I saw people selling this token through idex, some are buy and some are selling, this is unofficial listing, it happens.

If the tokens are under ethereum network and its not locked then some users were able to have spare tokens then you can buy cause they can sell it on forkdelta and some dex that can easily uploaded smart contract to be able to buy and sell tokens. Usually some ICO locked their tokens for these kind of situation so the price would bot be affected but what you are asking is not impossible.

Did you mean listing on exchange by the word launch? Sometimes, bounty hunters sell their coin/token they get from the bounty campaign. You can check the altcoin marketplace to get some of the offers. Also, you can post about your required token there.

Actually this is possible. they can make seed rounds to sell to angel investors. CTSI has done the same and it still does IEO at Binance exchange. but before implementing IEO, they will have to disclose full and accurate information about previously distributed tokens. All information is included in the whitepaper, you can read to understand more about the token distribution of each project.
