I am looking into creating multiplayer games with AS3 and I am just learning about it.

Now I have seen a popular choice is smartfoxserver. For a beginner this has a lot of help docs and help in general so for me it sounds like the best solution.

The hosting of these apps with the server seems to run at $80 a month.

TO begun with I am looking for a cheaper solution to host test apps for a few months . Any ideas for a cheaper hosting solution?
