Is it worth keeping a public IP on every node in a multi-node environment? My bill is higher than I expected

In most cases, no. On AccuWeb.Cloud, public IPv4 addresses are billed per node, so attaching one to every server adds up fast. Typically, only your entry point — like a load balancer or frontend app server — actually needs a public IP.

You can cut unnecessary costs by removing public IPs from backend nodes through the Change Environment Topology settings. Same architecture, lower bill. Clean and efficient.
