the best ppl to talk to are ISPs you trust. in general tho you will need to make some assumptions. what percentage of the site do people actually use, how much this weighs in terms of filesize. this can be multiplied by hits over the period giving you the estimated data transfer etc.
your programmers should also be able to estimate the load on the server by how intense their code is. how many queries happen on a db, the number of file uploads possible, how much data is written per user x num of users will tell you how big the db should be etc
if the hosting company are supportting yr server you have a managed solution. most of the time these are adequate for very large sites.
