I am quite a bit confused to understand the difference between http callout and webservice callout. though it is a simple question i just want to know most important differences. Can anyone please guide me through?

From my understanding you are asking the difference between them. 'HTTP Callout' is the same thing as a 'Webservice Callout'. Now the only difference between the two is the context you use them in. IE: if you are making a 'Webservice', you are creating the endpoint and code behind the scene which ends up doing what ever processing it needs to and returns a respond to the originating point

From SF doc:

• WebServiceMock: Enables sending fake responses when testing Web service callouts of a class auto-generated from a WSDL.
• HttpCalloutMock: Enables sending fake responses when testing HTTP callouts.

So WebServiceMock is mainly used for SOAP web service while the HttpCalloutMock is mainly used for HTTP (REST) web service.
