Hello.

① Install a HubSpot tracking tag on your existing site  
②Create a website on HubSpot

Is there a difference in the data that can be measured in ① and ② above?

In addition, regarding forms, you can also install them on external sites (HTML code) and  
Is there any difference in placing it on a HubSpot page?

Hello [@木村](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/625098),  
Thank you for reaching out to the Community!  
I understand that you’d like to know if there is a difference in data between placing the HubSpot tracking code directly on an external website or use a HubSpot hosted page instead.  
You also want to know if there is a difference in data between placing a HubSpot form on an external page or use a HubSpot form on a HubSpot page.  
Please let me know if that’s not the case.  
I’d like to invite a couple of subject matter experts to this conversation: Hi [@Mike\_Eastwood](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/9259), @kmcready and @Aakar do you have any insights to share with [@木村](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/625098), please?  
Also, if anybody else has anything to add and/or share, please feel free to join in the conversation 🙂  
Thanks a lot and have a lovely day!  
Best,  
Bérangère
