How can I check my website bandwidth usage?

I have a wordpress website hosted in my semi dedicated server and often this website shows this error,

Bandwidth Limit Exceeded

The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to the site owner reaching his/her bandwidth limit. Please try again later.

Open in new window

When I inform to web admin, they say it is because of wordpress etc., though they assigned 100GB memory and they say look at your website etc.,

Please suggest me how can I do this and inform web admin & website team to fix

@Vimal DM, thanks for the suggestion. Yes that's being practiced. We allot monthly bandwidth for each site and we college extra money for add. bandwidth.

The real problem is, we have assigned 100GB bandwidth for one WP site and it is empty now. Ultimately client and hosting person says we don't use this much bandwidth etc.,

I cannot conclude either WP or client who is ./ how the bandwidth is being used.
If there is any stat program (like Awstats) installed on your server, you can get some idea on which files are being called. Also, make sure that you do not have large video, images in your website. This can consume lots of bandwidth.
