Please, tell us some details about your environment like System, Joomla version etc.
What are your exact steps? Do other things work and install like normal?

I've bought an hosting on strato (dutch version) and installed joomla version 3.6.5 .. Other then that i have added hikashop as an extension first. That extension succesfully worked.

Guest Index column size too large.> Guest Cobalt 8 but it did give the error above. it did too with one other extension.

I have googled for the error message. I have found many topics and similar issues. Also with other CMS's, and related to STRATO. Apparently this is a common and known issue. Sounds like a limitation by your environment.

For now... Please, try to find some infos in STRATO support forums and maybe in Joomla.org forum.

Search term suggestions:

"Index column size too large" Strato Joomla


Apart from that, did you check Joomla -> Extensions -> Manage -> Database (any errors, need to fix?)

Could you ask your hosting please? I have not yet met such a restrictions before so I am not familiar with this.
