As of early 2009, independent ranking site Alexa ranks XE in the top 300 to 400 of all sites worldwide by traffic, and a top 100 traffic site in Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and the United Kingdom[2].
XE is headquartered in Newmarket, Ontario. It was founded in 1993 by Steven Dengler, who currently serves as CEO, and Beric Farmer, who currently serves as President. Its name at founding was Xenon Laboratories Incorporated, and it registered the xe.com domain name in December of 1994, choosing the letters XE from the two-letter atomic symbol for Xenon. In early 2001, as the Internet became more prevalent, the company formally changed its name to XE.com Inc[3].
