If you don't have too much load, heroku could be good for you, but you'll have to use postgresql. The free tier is nice though.
I second heroku for OPs requirements, extremely easy to set up and manage, and the free tier handles many small sites well.
Whatever you choose, use cloudflare for free SSL.

I wonder if you would also benefit from installing something like yunohost [2] on top of Debian. This will get you your personal cloud. And the use YounoHost's 'Custom web app' container [4]
This way, you get an automatically configured web server (nginx), with certificates (via Let's encrypt) that get auto updated.
You also get a pre-configured user/sftp access to your app's folders.
And those folders will be backed up when you hit the backup button...
Nginx will invoke your python app when the predefined URL is hit.
All you have to do is to point your domain registrar to the prmgr VPS host running yunohost.

You can also get a free tier at Amazon AWS but you have to learn all the EC2 stuff and almost piece yourself a server one piece at a time (like the good old days where you build your own PC but clicking buttons) -- IMHO this takes much longer than just doing a $5 VPS and typing things. So if you want to learn Amazon AWS stuff, this may be a good path but it is going to take a lot longer

I've used DigitalOcean (ref link -> https://m.do.co/c/a2a2c0826ff3 ) to host my Django sites, both with postgresql and sqlite. It will take you some time to figure out how to host it. Once you a succeed each subsequent time becomes much easier. Plus you get to learn a ton about server management. There are fantastic posts that will help you. https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-...
But either will do. My use was crypto trading bots, also using SQLite for storage.

Dokku + your favorite VPS: http://dokku.viewdocs.io/dokku/ Installation is a breeze and there are plugins. If you're at all familiar with Heroku's deploy, you'll love this. It's the closest thing I've found to `git push` without any thinking.
