They may look same. But they are certainly not.
Cloud hosting is a service which may look independent at first glance, Since you are responsible for administrating the server doing updates & backups & what nots. But they are not. The provider of the Cloud is responsible for the hardware of the machine and also the OS. It may also look like that you can do whatever installations in your server but that is also limited since you do not control the hardware. For more hardware Cloud services charge extra money.
In the case of a Dedicated Hosting. The hosting provider gives you a bare metal machine. For which only you is responsible. And those comes with large hardware setups hence for small upgrades in software or any such sort doesn't require any hardware upgrade.
Cloud is for those who wants the feel of being independent but with very limited resources. Such as, gaming servers, app hosting etc. Dedicated on the other hand is only for big boys.
