Whoa. ICANN does not control the granting of all domain names, it
coordinates the assignment of top level domains and the management of
the root zone file. As an extension of that power, it imposes some
contractual obligations on domain name registries. But not on hosting
services per se. 

Also, to say that ICANN is "responsible for the security of the
Internet" is a vast overstatement. It is responsible for the security of
DNS. That's all.
