A hot spot volcano is a volcano is one that forms as a result of an extra hot area of the mantle just beneath the crust. Such volcanoes are often far from plate boundaries. A cinder cone volcano is a relatively small volcano with steep slopes made of cinders. The two are not mutually exclusive: some cinder cone volcanoes are associated with hot spots.

How is the formation of a composite cone different from a hot spot volcano?

That's a very good question.
How is the formation of Mount St. Helens volcano different than a hot-spot volcano?
A "hot spot" stays in the same place while the Earth's crust moves above it.
Is kilauea volcano a hot spot?
No. It is a volcano. It was formed by a hot spot.
What are the similarities and differences between Mount Saint Helens and Mount Kilauea?
Mount St Helens is a Composite Cone Volcano (meaning it is infrequent yet violent) and Kilauea is a Shield Volcano (meaning it is not violent). A shield volcano is widely spread between two continental crust though Kilauea is on a hot spot. Meaning it is in the middle of a plate. Composite Cone Volcanos are located between oceanic plates and continental crusts.
A weak spot in the crust where magma comes through?
An active volcano, such as in the Hawaiian islands, is a weak spot in the Earth's crust.
What type of volcano is formed at a hot spot?
A shield volcano
Is the hot spot near Mount Vesuvius the biggest in the world?

Is the Kilauea volcano a divergent volcano?

What is a volcano at a hot spot?
Kilauea
Why do volcanoes at a hot spot eventually become extinct?
The plate that the volcano is on moves while the hot spot does not. The volcano is eventually carried away from the hot spot and no longer has a source of magma.
