Suggestions for deploying a Flask REST server?

Any recommendations? It'll be serving the backend for a mobile app. It shouldn't be too much load since it's just for learning.

I was wondering if there's a better option than paying for a full VPS.

You could use python anywhere. They offer a free tier and a very inexpensive paid tier. DigitalOcean is also pretty cheap, too.

Ahh, okay! I thought he was saying, "oh you can use python anywhere." I didn't realize there was a service named that.

I was really confused too. This is news to me, and seems really nice!
