Usually your hosting company provides this information through MRTG for megabits on 95th or if you want an exact per gig figure they may have a billing package to provide that. If you use webstats like webalizer or other packages they arent really all that accurate, so the best thing to do would be to run an ipfw rule to count your packets.

ipfw add 1 allow ip any to any out
ipfw add 1 allow ip any to any in

then ipfw show

And you will see the number of packets transmitted as well as the number of bytes which you can calculate to gigs, then just reset it at the start of the new month, ipfw zero.

With Cpanel, you get all stats, site by sites.

With WHM, you get stats of your server as well as site by site.

It's possible with a control panel like cPanel. MRTG can't do that.

Most hosting companies import the mrtg data and give you a gig calculation for a specific period with their own billing software.
