I am looking for a remote support solution I can put on my private server that would allow friends and family to go to my website in order to start a remote support session and let me to control their computer and fix problems, clean viruses, etc. Does anyone know of anything like this that would work on a dreamhost VPS?

You could try one of the flavors of VNC- TightVNC, RealVNC or ScreenConnect. I think all can be hosted on your server. ScreenConnect has more options but it will cost your $275/concurrent license. If you have a repair business it is probably worth the cost as it will let you customize (brand) it to your business and integrate on your website.
