It appears they bill based on a cap line, 20 Mb/s as chupacabra mentioned so there is no need to show how many GB have been transferred.
chupacabra, there are many ways to measure bandwidth usage. MRTG is one of the good ones and is relatively easy to setup, you might even be able to setup it on your server if your host gives you access to the switch.
You could use the Apache logs, but these tend to be off by 10% or more, same with bandmin. There are also some Apache modules you could try using and although these allow you to do some interesting things (cap bandwidth per site/directory/file/file type/local user/remote user/IP/referral etc.) they are also somewhat off compared to the actual bandwidth.
If you need some help setting it up or would like to know more about some of the amazing things that can be done on a dedicated server related to bandwidth management, feel free to contact me.
