I have a virtual private server and am trying to load a ruby app on it to view over the www. Are there any Tree House tutorials for this?

If you're using AWS, take a look into setting up on AWS's EC2 initially and have your firewall (security) open to the specified port. This still won't be a "www" website but its a start.
I'd recommend you test the functionality by deploying a rails app locally (e.g. rails -s) with builtin webricks which points to your localhost:[port] before moving forward to a virtual private server.
