Trying to keep it as simple as possible...

VPS is what pretty much every service out there offers you.  You get a virtualized machine with superuser access allowing you to install whatever you want on it.  Sign up at Digital Ocean, AWS, etc, you get a VPS.

A dedicated server is bare metal.  You get the entire processing power of that box to yourself.  Unless you own your own data center, or rent space in one, chances are exceptionally slim you'll get an entire server to yourself, or if you do you're going to pay a fortune for the privilege.

Cloud mining means that somebody is hosting miners in a facility and is selling you hashing power on those machines.  If I were to relate this to VPS and dedicated servers, I would do so as follows:

VPS - services like cex.io, pbmining, etc offer you the ability to buy hashing contracts
Dedicated - You buy your own mining hardware and someone hosts it in their data center for you.  Effectively, you'd pay rent (hosting fees) for your machine using up their space/electricity.

Cloud mining - Selling hashing power to mine coins, like cex.io, scrypt.cc, cloudhashing.com

Dedicated server - a full server to host your website or anything that server can do. Service like hetzner.de

VPS or Virtual Private Server is the chunk of a server, so it's cheaper than dedicated server  - like chunkhost.com, DigitalOcean.com

Get yourself on ebay and buy some asics of your own and learn some new things.

VPS is only able to allocate less resources, efficiency is very low.
