The answer is, as usual "it depends".

Basically, Nikola produces a folder of HTML and related things. If you already have a site in your domain, you need to check the documentation provided by your hosting provider to see how to publish that.

If you are starting up with a new domain, it's not so hard, you can just put the Nikola output in something like github sites and follow the documentation to point your domain there.

My main domain name is already in use, so can't I use nikola in my subdomain name to create a blog?

You can host Nikola anywhere. A subdomain or a subdirectory is fully
supported. Nikola doesn’t care.

If you want to host on the same server, and if you manage it:
1. Configure DNS for the subdomain. CNAME to the main domain is usually enough.
2. Configure your HTTP server (apache/nginx) to add a virtual host
(apache)/server block (nginx) for the subdomain
3. Put your Nikola output files in the directory you set as your root
in the site’s config in apache/nginx

If you want to use GitHub Pages:
https://docs.github.com/en/github/working-with-github-pages/configuring-a-custom-domain-for-your-github-pages-site

If you are using anything else: refer to the documentation of your
hosting solution. Shared web hosts, for example, allow you to add a
subdomain from the admin panel.
