What is the difference between applications on the cloud and web hosting?

Applications on cloud can be accessed from anywhere through the Internet just like any web hosting. So what is the difference? Is there any difference in the client server and cloud computing architecture?

Thanx.

Cloud hosting is an abstraction from a prebuilt computer cluster providing you with arguably limitless computing power which in the end is presented to you as a single virtual unit, which results in a long list of benefits amongst which are scalability at a single click, risks protection and etc. In contrast in classic hosting all you get is at maximum a single physical machine, having to deal with all questions of risks and scalability yourself.
