That's true, assuming they didn't also put their private keys on the server

As the hoster wrote this:

we immediately transferred all clients’ web hosting subscriptions from this server

It looks like the binaries and the update check script were put on a simple web space. If that is the correct conclusion to draw from this excerpt, then it'd be rather strange to have the keys on that server as it's very unlikely that it was used to produce any builds.
