The Hanukkah-menorah (Hanukkiyah) has 8 spots for the candles and 1 spot for the "shamash" which is used to light the other candles. It is lit on the eight nights of Hanukkah, at or after sunset. On Friday afternoon it is lit before sunset.

If you are talking about a 9-branched Hanukkah menorah, it is usually only displayed during the eight days of Hanukkah.

If you are talking about a regular 7-branched menorah, it can be displayed all year round, usually in a china cabinet or on a shelf.

The seven branched menorah is generally only used for decoration. It can be lit for Shabbat but this is rare.
