I have been researching on it to get a blockchain to host files and web servers and pages. I came across to them

They certainly host the web servers for you.I'm assuming they run a private chain which isn't based on ETH or any other coin that is they have created the project from scratch.This statement clearly explains it

From my understanding, bigchaindb is a private blockchain, is it possible for us to create a public group of nodes using their technology?

Public group of nodes ? Since everything runs on a chain,isn't everything connected internally ? That is every node is being served the data someway or the other ? Since they can let you query a database,I'm assuming they have the ability to run a private chain and separate for every database made.

Thanks for clarification

Do you know https://ipfs.io/

is it similar too ? If both these project can be connected together ?

I found this project https://www.bigchaindb.com/

If any expert can give me insights on if we can use it as replacement to cloud storage and hosting?

and also how it works technically? is it a p2p storage

Damn! I feel I just a technically golden treasure right there !! Where did you come across this ? For now,they seem to have Api for only Python and Node.js backend languages.

Code:

const driver = require('bigchaindb-driver')

const alice = new driver.Ed25519Keypair()
const conn = new driver.Connection(
'https://test.bigchaindb.com/api/v1/',
{ app_id: 'Get credentials from testnet.bigchaindb.com',
app_key: 'by signing up and going to your Applications screen' })
const tx = driver.Transaction.makeCreateTransaction(
{ message: '' },
null,
[ driver.Transaction.makeOutput(
driver.Transaction.makeEd25519Condition(alice.publicKey))],
alice.publicKey)
const txSigned = driver.Transaction.signTransaction(tx, alice.privateKey)
conn.postTransaction(txSigned)

That is everything you need to know.Is there anything specific you need the information for ? This tutorial shows how you can host their server locally : https://docs.bigchaindb.com/projects/server/en/latest/quickstart.html .They also provide their network to take care of your server if you sign up and stuff.I'm still trying to implement this on a live platform.
